When I saw Fever Pitch, I had to laugh, because at one point or another in my life I had the same pictures that Jimmy Falon had in his room. I still have the book that his uncle bought him on his first trip to Fenway.

Hi all! I have been a diehard Sox fan since '67. The Cardiac Kids got me started, and I have been hooked ever since then, despite the fact that I have lived behind enemy lines my entire life. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY, and I currently live in Long Island, NY. I have had to tolerate the most obnoxious Yankee fans since grade school, and I have ventured into the lions den for Sox games my entire life. As a kid, I preferred double headers, and I saw some doozies. On the 4th of July 1973, I saw a Sox sweep 2-1 and 1-0. In the first game, Yaz scored the winning run from second base in the 9th on an errant double play relay. It was probably the last good game pitched by Ray Culp. In the night-cap Roger Moret ( a real Yankee-killer) pitched the shutout. In 1975 at Shea Stadium, I saw a 1-0, 6-0 double header sweep. Game 1 was saved by a diving rolling catch by Fred Lynn with the bases loaded in the 8th inning. Again, Roger Moret pitched the shutout in the night-cap. I saw Pedro outduel the Rocket on a Sunday evening in May (99 or 2000?). I make the pilgrimage to Fort Myers each Spring, and I make at least two trips for weekend series at Fenway. I only miss games for funerals and sometimes for Weddings.
