First time to bat

[OldSailor]

Hello everyone. This is my first time to bat. Been a Red Sox fan since 1946. Spent many years in Boston when I was in the Navy. Went to Fenway Park many times. Just went there recently - 4 July. First time back in 42 years. All these years I've been in the Pacific and Far East and wandering around.

 

Got nostalgic when I went back, and live in Washington DC now, in the Armed Forces Retirement Home. I plan to make trips to Boston and watch the Red Sox play whenever I can.

 

Ted Williams signed a baseball for me when they let me in the Red Sox dressing room in Comiskey Park Chicago in 1947. Gonna give the ball to my grandson. It's yellow now, but you can still see the signature.

 

Got one question already: how do you get your picture attached?

 

Thanks for reading this and I'll be learning how to use this message board as time goes by.

 

Jon.

So, you've been a Sox fan for 65 years since you were 12?
