I listened on radio to the 1967 fiasco (vs St. Louis), I watched the 1975 torture vs Cincinnati (the Fisk home run and the spaceman's spacing out). By 1986 I was not watching anymore - but I had the unfortunate timing of being on an Indian Princess campout for game 6 - and one of the dads had a radio. I can still see the shape of the burning log I was staring at when the ball went through Billy Buck's legs. Now - liberation. It is ok if it is another 85 years, so it is time to ENJOY some baseball. I am now tied with mom for number of World Series won by the Sox in our lifetimes. She was one in 1918 when they won, I 51 in 2004. Another piece of Red Sox trivia - the type of thing only New England families keep track of.</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/10/372004-10-28T03:57:50ZSursumCorda<p>They did it! THEY DID IT!!! (And no, he didn't watch. Not a second. But I woke him up so that he could enjoy the post-game festivities.) (I was up watching the eclipse and fixing the blog bug.)</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/10/362004-10-28T03:43:06ZJanet<p>Yeah!! Go Red Sox!!!!!!! I must not have my fathers effect on games. I watched the 8th and 9th innings. :)</p>tag:sursumcorda.salemsattic.com,2018:/isso/10/352004-10-24T11:43:25ZDavid July<p>I have been paying enough attention to the games to feel excited for the team and fans but was not aware that someone on their team is a LBHS alum! Nice to see someone living their dreams.</p>
