Wow, you witnessed some history right there!

Poor Rosie! It was such a great idea, too!

During those years, the Red Sox always had a 10am game at Fenway so that after the game, the fans could gather at the finish line (just outside the park) to see the winners come through.

During the game, the Fenway scoreboard would flash updates on the leaders as they approached from Hopkington.

It was always a banner day for me as a kid.

Then I'd go hang out at the Strawberries record store in Kenmore Square and catch the subway home at the end of the day.
