Have you ever noticed that two people present at the same event oft times have different memories?

I had that experience last week when I had dinner with a high school friend who, unbeknownst to me, is a reader of my Friday With Fred Blog.

The first word out of his mouth was Zelig.  I took the bait and said I’m like Zelig and have been witness to many interesting events. He responded that "The (1960) Patterson/Johansson fight was at the Polo Grounds, not Yankee Stadium."

Rashomon!

PS: He did confirm that while leaving the Polo Grounds Liz did respond with an ugly gesture towards us with her middle finger after we taunted her with shouts of “Debbie, Debbie!”
