"(Billy) Bruton came up again with one out in the bottom of the 10th. (Gerry) Staley, matching (Warren) Spahn in going the distance, 'threw me a knuckleball and I liked the looks of it,' Bruton later said. The ball went soaring toward the right-field fence. Enos Slaughter chased it down and got his glove on it, but his elbow hit the four-foot fence at that instant and the ball popped over into the crowd. Bruton started circling the bases as the crowd roared -- and then suddenly stopped. Umpire Lon Warneke was signaling a ground-rule double, believing that a fan had interfered with Slaughter's catch. Braves manager Charlie Grimm shot out of the dugout to protest, and he was quickly vindicated when (Jocko) Conlan overruled Warneke and called the home run. The Cardinals didn't squawk. Bruton finished his trip around the bases and was mobbed by his teammates at the plate. The new stadium rocked with the chant of 'Bruton! Bruton! Bruton!' And the love affair between Milwaukee and the Braves was on." - Sportswriter Frank Cline in the Milwaukee Journal (04/15/1999)
