Even speaking as someone from the other side of the political fence, I wouldn't say at all that Reagan was "struggling." He was a little halting in reading the stupid written info on the players :-) but besides that, he was impressively right on it -- ESPECIALLY in how he immediately noted that Boggs' ball was headed out of the park: "Hey, that looks like it's going there too" -- which I found so striking that I remembered it from when I saw the broadcast in '89.
Great video Ponce. We were all caught up in Bo fever at the time for good reason. I don't remember Wade hitting that homer. Tough act to follow for sure. I was watching at home then and remember the Bo hr. Wade Boggs could flat out hit!
The other day colin cowherd asked Joe Buck if he remembered the first home run he ever saw. The question made me remember the first 2 home runs I saw...or was it Kirk Gibson 1988 and hobbled....damnit. wrong memory
1:45. What a beautiful sight. McGwire, BO, and Mattingly. Man I miss those days.
It's cool to hear a President calling a baseball game and Vin Scully calling him "Sir".

Rick Reuschel looked about 55 out there... How the hell did he make the all-star team that year!
Rick Double Chin Rueschel
There is no way Rick Rueschel would be signed toiday
Vin too busy flapping his gums as usual to notice Bo homered on the second pitch, not the first.
Alzheimer's Reagan here, still a better president than Turnip
