So when I was growing up, the Red Sox were the lovable losers. Hadn't won a World Series since 1918 but they were fun to watch. I watched pretty much every game from about 1973 to 1980 and went to Fenway at least 200 times. Almost always to sit in the bleachers which was $1.75 for most of my childhood. My newspaper route money allowed me to go as much as I wanted.

They came close to winning it all in 1975 and in 1978, I was there on the last game of the season when the Red Sox had to win and the Yankees had to lose to force a playoff game - and got on Boston TV (channel 5) after the game in a "fan on the street" interview.

In the 2000s, my son became the big fan and he's gotten to see three Red Sox World Series victories so far with a fourth one only three games away.

I knew my kids were going to be spoiled.

Lucky kids, lol! They have no idea what we went through all those years. ;-)

I'm still a naturally pessimistic Red Sox fan. I have no idea how this series is going to end up. Wish some of the Red Sox pitchers were better. And I *really* wish Cora would eliminate Ian Kinsler and put in Brock Holt instead!

You’re a young whippsnapper.

I used to sit in the bleachers for 65 cents and watch Ellis Kinder as the Red Sox ace reliever. ⚾️⚾️

You had some great baseball experiences-——and I probably saw your interview on Ch.5-——that was my go-to station back in those days.
