This is all time great Jon and wonderful to hear all of Mr Berkow’s amazing stories. But one clarification: were you actually at Fenway for game 6 of the ‘75 Series?! If so where did you sit? It’s seems there were about a million people at that game but The Fens only seats around 33,000!

on the price of tickets, my second ever baseball game was a july 4, 1962 doubleheader at yankee stadium. we had field box seats under the screen behind the plate. tickets costs $2.50 each

leaving work on friday night in september 1998 i was handed four tickets (the newsweek field box no less) for that night’s mets game. face value $21.00 each.

i may have to pay $5 for a gallon of gas but i’ll never pay three figures for a regular season baseball game.

There is no image in baseball that compares with the perfection of Sandy Koufax stretching low and delivering a 3 - 2 fastball.
