Aaron's home run was caught by Braves reliever Tom House, who was in the bullpen. The bullpen crew had planned ahead, with each player manning an area about 10 yards wide, and agreeing not to infringe on each other's territory. The choice bullpen spots closer to left field went to those with more seniority. After catching the ball, House raced to home plate and gave the ball to Aaron

The ball flew toward left-centerfield. It cleared the fence 385 feet from home, just beyond the reach of Bill Buckner. It fell short of the stands where fans wearing gloves and wielding long-handled butterfly nets were hoping to catch it and cash in on bidding that before the game reached $25,000. The ball was caught instead by Dodgers relief pitcher Tom House.

As I have never seen a single game of baseball in my life I do not know who Hank Aaron is. I am English, and I follow football (that is our local dialect for what you call 'soccer'), cricket, rugby league and rugby union. I am really geared up for the World Cup.
