With Keith Hernandez being back in the news, we bring back this fantastic exchange. Also in the first post of this thread.
Newman: June 14, 1987 ... Mets. Phillies. We're enjoying a beautiful afternoon in the right field stands when a crucial Hernandez error led to a five-run Phillies ninth. Cost the Mets the game.
Kramer: Our day was ruined! There was a lot of people, you know, they were waiting by the players' parking lot. Now we're coming down the ramp ... Newman was in front of me. Keith was coming toward us. As he passes, Newman turns and says, "Nice game, pretty boy!" Keith continued past us up the ramp.
Newman: A second later, something happened that changed us in a deep and profound way from that day forward.
Elaine: What was it?
Kramer: He spit on us! And I screamed out, "I'm hit!"
Newman: Then I turned and the spit ricocheted of him and it hit me.
Elaine: Wow! What a story.
Jerry: Unfortunately the immutable laws of physics contradict the whole premise of your account. Allow me to reconstruct this if I may for Miss Benes as I've heard this story a number of times. Newman, Kramer, if you'll indulge me. According to your story, Keith passes you and starts walking up the ramp. Then, you say you were struck on the right temple. The spit then proceeds to ricochet off the temple striking Newman between the third and fourth rib. The spit then came off the rib turned and hit Newman in the right wrist causing him to drop his baseball cap. The spit then splashed off the wrist, pauses in mid air mind you, makes a left turn and lands on Newman's left thigh. That is one magic loogie.
