Sweet Sounds. Johnson, standing with Díaz Ordaz throughout the 2½-hour ride, fairly floated in the tumult, holding his hands above his head like a victorious prizefighter or making an "O.K." sign with circled thumb and forefinger. "I've never seen anything like this anywhere," he exulted from the steps of Los Pinos, home of Mexican Presidents.

...Anderson's infield single put men on first and second, and Mick Amick sacrificed them to second and third. Fred Prifty's single scored O'Neil, but Anderson tripped and went sprawling as he rounded third. After a brief hassle, the umpire ruled interference and Anderson got a free ride to score...
