"I couldn't believe it," Sparaco said. "Five minutes earlier, I'd been a nobody. Now we were doing an interview on a Cleveland radio station. After the game, we visited the Orioles locker room. Reporters swarmed us. We shook hands with every Oriole, from Luis Aparicio to Boog Powell. They all signed a ball and a program. Then we jumped up on a training table, gave the ball to Frank Robinson and had our picture taken with him. The Orioles gave us both season passes, we said our goodbyes and that was it."
