...Gassol asked me if I would perform at a special concert...I said yes, of course, I would. But I did not know at first what the government was planning. They announced on the radio and in the newspapers that I was to play and also that during the two hours of the concert all work was to stop in the territory of the Republic!...For me that concert had a profound significance.

"They're not going to use algebra and Latin, but they might want to run for council...
...Mets even made the lame and the halt rise from their pallets to perform. Willie Mays, 42, sidelined with cracked ribs and due to retire at the end of the season, was sent in as a pinch hitter during the final game and scratch singled in a run. Willie was replacing Veteran Ed Kranepool, the last of the original Mets, who in turn was substituting for Rusty Staub.
