Notes & reviews

  • homer on first World Series AB
  • infield shifted for Jim Edmonds; the ball rolled to the edge of the dirt but no one was there until Bill Mueller ran over from the SS area
  • Line drive down third base line rebounded off grandstand back toward infield
  • the ball hopped up and struck Tony Womack on the left collarbone; he was taken for precautionary x-rays that were negative
  • the ball struck the RF pole
