Even though I was barely one at the time, as a baseball fan growing up this I remember seeing this highlight innumerable times. Pretty exciting stuff and I’m NO Red Sox fan. But yes, I did my own reenactments in the back yard.
This year I am hoping for a Cardinals moment that can get at least close to the thrill represented here and win the Series.
On this day in 1975, Red Sox catcher Carton Fisk hit one of the most dramatic home runs in baseball history. In the bottom of the 12th inning of Game 6 of the World Series, Fisk hit a long drive that appeared to be heading to foul territory. As he ran to first base, the catcher jumped and waved at the ball to remain fair. The ball obliged, hitting the foul pole and giving the Red Sox a memorable win. Unfortunately for Boston fans, the Reds went onto win the Series, four games to three. (AP)
