Save Fenway

Greetings from the Great Northwest. There were thousands of kids growing up in Portland, OR. during the 50’s and 60’s and it seemed they all played Little League. I was one of them.
We followed the Portland Beavers in those days and I watched some pretty good players come through like Luis Tiant, Sam McDowell, and Luis Marquez.
I became a Red Sox fan in my senior year of high school, the Fall of ’67. I have followed them ever since and I would have to say that Yaz is my favorite player although Clemente ranks right up there too. I made my first trip to Fenway Park this past June 10th and I don’t plan to wait another 53 years before I go again.
I still collect cards, SAM’s bobble heads, Hartland statues, pennants, board games, and assorted other memorabilia that I can’t live without. I joined SABR last year, but mostly to support them with a donation. I’m not a research sort of guy. I just like the game.
I look forward to reading and maybe even joining a discussion or two.
