1980 World Series, Game 6 - Charlie Hustle Saves the Day

October 21, 1980 - Veterans Stadium, Philadelphia, PA

The ball popped in and out of Boone's mitt — the Royals' hopes rose for a fleeting moment — but first baseman Pete Rose, also giving chase on the ball, was there to snatch it out of the air.
