in the ‘60s I remember waking up the morning of the day of the first world series game each year with butterflies in my stomach & taking my little transistor radio to school so I could secretly catch part of the game. Didn’t matter who was playing.

In 1968, 8th grade, I remember one teacher had in on the radio in his class in when Tigers and Cards played. I was a Tiger fan. The bell rang for the next class, but he let me stay and listen for a few minutes more. I got to hear the call on Northrup’s triple over Flood in Center. Man was I excited! God bless that man; wish I could thank him for that memory today.

We don’t see that in this nation today I don’t think. Sad

When I was in Elementary School in the fifties the teachers had the Series on because they considered it part of History in the making.

In the early 1970s, I got a transistor radio (that's what they were called in those days). One of those Radio Shack specials with the 9 volt battery and an earplug. As it was AM only, no need for having it in both ears as there was no stereo.

Anyway, I used to keep it under my pillow when I went to bed and would listen to a lot of Red Sox games (as well as Bruins games) while my parents thought I was sleeping.

Good memories.
