66 Cat team starred Ecddie Leon and Pat O'Brien. One of those years (1966, I'm guessing) Reggie Jackson hit a ball off the batter's eye in dead centerfield that I swear was still going up as it struck the wall.

In 1970, Cats won the WAC and played Denver in a best 2 of 3 playoff for the World Series berth. They had a 9th inning comeback in the deciding game that was about the same as the comeback against Maine in Omaha many years later. It was at Hi Corbett.

There were sell-out crowds at Hi Corbett for Cats/Devils in those days.
