Red Sox Fan here. Since before Bill Lee.

It was better when Bill became the Yankee killer. The guy that truly played with passion, kinda like Ted Williams. Both spent a lot of fishing time in NB, CA.

Red Sox v Twins at the old Met Stadium. I sat in the left field bleachers with my dad. The starting left fielders that day were a couple of young guys named Yastrzemski and Killebrew. I wonder what happened to those guys?

I’m definitely old enough to have seen them play. Not much TV then.
