SOUNDBITE (English) Charlie Russo, Filmed Hank Aaron’s 715th Homer:
“Anyway when I’m coming back I have my little camera, movie camera, he’s coming up to bat. Oh my goodness. I started filming and the first one was a ball and then a second one. Oh, my lord, he hit it out. And now I'm thinking, ‘Oh goodness, I got all this on my camera.’ So now I'm gonna go down to what was with Pearl Bailey and all his Sammy Davis Jr - all Aaron's family was. Yeah, yeah, he was right behind the dugout. Okay, so I go down and I start the filming, and they open the gate and they go, so I go in the field too. I mean it's just like, okay, I'm part of the family. I go in the field, and now I'm right up in his face taking pictures.”

Good for Mr. Russo. Sounds like a great guy who lived in the moment.
