Yes - that's absolutely it! Funny - I also left early, listened to the game on the way home, and caught the end on tv. I remember an announcer saying Sasser "arrived tomorrow for today's game." Thanks!

So I'm trying to remember a game at Shea - late 80's or early 90's - went super late. As I recall, some player didn't start - was out because of a family illness or wife gave birth or something - but as he was flying back home he saw the lights at the stadium, came to Shea, and got into the game. Am I totally making this up?
