Default Red Sox - Yankees ...... 43 Years Later

o


43 years ago, on October 2nd of 1978, I remember getting off the bus from middle school (up here in Brewster, NY) to go home to watch a baseball game that started at 2:30 PM. My brother Mark, who was in high school, missed the first half hour of the game because his school let out 30 minutes later than the middle school did. It was a one-game playoff between the Red Sox and the Yankees, with the winner of that game gaining the right to advance to the ALCS against the Kansas City Royals. More than 4 decades later, the same 2 franchises will meet at the same place (Fenway Park) with essentially the same laurels at stake ...... the right to advance to the next round of the playoffs against the Tampa Bay D-Rays. The only difference is that the game back in 1978 was technically not a playoff game, it counted as the 163rd regular season game of the year. It should be interesting, and it will no doubt evoke memories of that fateful day back in 1978.

Go Yankees.

My Dodgers take on the Cardinals in a one game playoff Wed. Wish Vin Scully was still the Dodgers announcer. He was one of the best announcers I have ever listened to. He didn't have anyone beside him in the booth, he did it all. The stories he would tell were priceless.
