My dad and my uncle and us kids went to a Senators game at RFK and my uncle who was a World War II Pacific Marine had thus Corp windbreaker jacket on and the box that we were in was right over the dugout.
Ted Williams saw that and during one of the breaks in the game they had like a 10-minute conversation. Two old Marines shooting the breeze.
My uncle at the end of WW2 was stationed with his PBY at the top of Korea. The war was over yet they would fly to China for R&R by way of Manchuria. One of the then unarmed planes was engaged over Manchuria and shot at by ruskies. There was a clamor amongst the crews to rearm the planes and to go get them. Of course that was nixed and they were directed to keep quiet about it.
