This is the first baseball game I ever attended. I was7 years old. I went with my Dad. I was a huge Pudge Fisk fan and I wanted to leave after the 6th inning. My Dad said, "You never leave a game you paid to see." In the bottom of the 9th Fisk homered off of a dominant Vida Blue. Sox lost but I went home happy. Thanks for the history!
