We’ll let the Louisville radio broadcaster describe the action as it was heard on the old Arvin tube model in the apartment above Sal’s shop…
*crackle*
King is ready to go now.
Bland settles in behind the plate… Thompson steps into the box on the left side…
Men on the corners, two down… crowd is standing… man, it’s loud in here…
The windup… and here’s the first pitch from King… swing…
POPPED IT UP… foul territory… Brown is under it… waiting…
LOUISVILLE WINS THE WORLD SERIES!

This wasn't just the radio. Sal was yelling along with it. Then, the last Sal remembers is waking up in his barber chair. Yes, just a few minutes ago. Sal has to thank the boys for returning him to his shop safely. But Sal can't help but assume that he has missed a lot. Sal is getting too old to celebrate like a young man. Besides, Mr. Orcin is making winning old hat.
