Hi Nutmeg!!
I was born in Medford,MA, lived in Winthrop and Weymouth before marrying NJ. Was ALWAYS a Red Sox fan and could not take the Yankees when moving here, altho I do like the Mets.
When I was a teenager, at the beach, I would be on my blanket with my portable radio, listening the Sox — while my friends were flirting with the boys. I LOVED Ted Williams (yes I am of age now!!) and even wrote a letter to radio announcer, Jim Britt, about how I worshipped Williams. Britt even answered the letter!
Crossing fingers and eyes and everything else for Boston when in SD. Go Sox!!
Wow, such a cool story, Exit! I do remember you told me before you had quite the schoolgirl crush on handsome Ted Williams. :-)
