I watched it last night. I love to watch old games. I have seen the home run many times but I had never watched the entire game until last night. What a ball game that had a bit of everything in it. I noticed before they mentioned it that not a single batter struck out. Of all the differences between a game in 1960 vs. 2026 the thing I always notice in these older games is that batters came to the plate to hit. The mindset was not to work counts. You didn't need the pitch clock (which I love) to artificially speed the game up. I really like that about the old games. Even up intot he 80's you still saw that same plate approach.
