BASEBALL SPIT STORY NEWMAN: June 14, 1987.... Mets Phillies. We're enjoying a beautiful afternoon in the right field stands when a crucial Hernandez error opens the door 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 player's parking lot. Now we're coming down the ramp ... (cuts to a flashback filmed in the same style as the Zapruder Film ) ... Newman was in front of me. Hernandez was coming toward us, as he passes Newman turns and says, " Nice game pretty boy." Keith continued past us up the ramp. Newman: Then 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 ricochet off 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. Jerry (cont.): Newman, Kramer, if you'll indulge me. According to your story Hernandez 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 forth rib. The spit then came off the rib made a right turn hitting 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. Newman: Well that's the way it happened. Jerry(To Kramer): What happened to your head when you got hit? Kramer: Well. uh, well my head went back and to the left Jerry(Repeats line a few times): Back and to the left. Back and to the left Elaine: So what are you saying? Jerry: I am saying that the spit could not have come from behind ... that there had to have been a second spitter! Jerry(cont.): Behind the bushes on the gravelly road. If the spitter was behind you as you claimed that would have caused your head to pitch forward. Elaine: So the spit could have only come from the front and to the right. Jerry: But that is not what they would have you believe. Newman: I'm leaving. Jerry's a nut! TRIVIA
