Nope, pretty much was chained to the Sunset District in the Fifties. Bobb and I probably fought in the right field bleachers at Seals Stadium and in the East end zone at Kezar. He would have been the scrappy little kid with the Red Rider lunchpail. I did witness the 1959 eighteen K performance by Koufax against the Giants at the LA Coliseum on a family trip to Disneyland. Won on a Wally Moon "Moonshot" over the screen in leftield. 250' down the line and you had to see it to believe it.
The opening chapter of Don Dellio's "Underworld" deals with the fate of the Bobby Thompson baseball after it cleared the Polo Grounds wall in 1951. Priceless fiction relating a story about the ball which in reality has never been brought forward.
