The most enduring mystery in TV sitcom history had an anniversary on Wednesday. According to Newman, it was 30 years ago to the day — June 14, 1987 — that he and Kramer, after attending a Mets game at Shea Stadium, were spit on by “pretty boy” Keith Hernandez in a passing altercation.
Or were they? After the pair recounted the incident about five years later, Jerry presented the bold theory that there was “a second spitter”, near the gravelly road. Senifeld fans will know that that turned out to be Roger McDowell, and that the episode was voted one of the greatest in TV history.
