Commentator Murray Horwitz tells what it was like yesterday at Riverfront Stadium in Cincinatti when umpire John McSherry collapsed and died at the opening game of the baseball season. Horwitz had attended ball games with his parents in Cincinatti - and was taking his teenager daughter. McSherry, who was 51 years old, suffered sudden cardiac death. The game was delayed to today; Horwitz described the atmosphere there and the matter of fact way his daughter described it afterwards.
