That gave me chills, truly a great day in baseball history. Thanks Jeff!

Were the two kids ever identified? I wonder what they think today after 911?

I believe it was actually a father and his son.

Aside from public ridicule, the older of the two protesters incurred some legal punishment. Thirty seven-year-old William Errol Thomas, an unemployed man from Eldon, Missouri, was fined $60 for trespassing and placed on probation for a year. No formal charges were placed against the boy, who was treated as a juvenile offender.
