You've all seen it by now. The amazed young Red Sox fan who had a front row seat--literally--to the most jaw-dropping--also literally--play of the year. But it turns out that Aaron Huberfeld, of Buryhamshire, Mass., had his mind on other things.

"People kept saying they saw my reaction, and I had no idea what they meant," says Aaron, a 14-year old who was just voted into his town's fly-fishing Hall of Fame.

He didn't know because he wasn't reacting to the game. Although he can decipher light at certain levels, Aaron is blind.

"I was a bowling prodigy as a toddler. After my third perfect game, I was posing for a photo shoot in front of the pins. A rival prodigy got jealous and ran into the picture and shoved me. Not hard, I mean, it was no big deal, we knew he was a hot-head. But I happened to fall back into the pins, and the racking mechanism came down. Next thing I knew I was in the hospital, and it was like totally dark."

And it was his blindness that got him to Yankee Stadium on the Fourth of July.

"I'm not even a big baseball fan. But my school was lucky enough to be chosen by A-Rod's people. I guess he needed a disabled kid to be a part of some staged..."

His mother quickly cuts him off. Regardless of the motive, Rodriguez brought Aaron, his sister, Kira, his brother, Charlie, and his mother and father, both periodontists, down to New York for the weekend. And the seats they got would give them more air-time than any staged...well, whatever it is A-Rod has in store to take people's minds off his marital woes.

But Aaron still couldn't understand how people saw his reaction which wasn't to the play in front of him, but to a conversation he was having with his sister at the time.

"She had mentioned how the Yanks had brought up a guy named 'J. Christian.' I said, Wow, like the outfielder whose name is mentioned on the baseball game on the radio in one of the beach scenes from Jaws. Then we realized Alex Rodriguez had the same first name as the boy who gets eaten early in the film, Alex Kitner. Then you've got Mike Mussina--one of the chief's kids was Michael. Then I said, 'Next thing you know, they'll sign Ben Gardner.' At that moment, Kira started looking through the scorebook. She found that the Yanks had just called up a 'B. Gardner.'"

That's when Aaron's jaw fell open.

"That's what I was thinking. That I couldn't believe the Jaws coincidences. And the fact that the 4th of July is so central to the plot made it that much crazier. I finally figured out my reaction to it was in the background of this crazy play. Which, of course, I couldn't see."

Aaron explains he was standing because "I have to stand, it helps me hear the action and it allows me to follow along a little better."

When asked how he can be sure that the Damon play happened at the moment of the Jaws/Yanks revelation, Aaron said, "it had to be. The only other time my jaw dropped like that was in the first inning, when my sister told me the two guys below us had identical, gray, patriotic Mickey Mouse T-shirts on. I still can't believe that one."

Incredibly, after the play, Damon had to leave the game, only to be replaced by, that's right, "B. Gardner."
