I can see this. I remember living in Newton as a boy in 1967. The Sox games were on TV 38 at the time. Not all of them were broadcast either as I seem to recall. Once in a while a game would be on Ch 5 which was CBS at the time. Overall, with UHF reception sketchy at best, many games were fuzzy looking.
I was the only person in my family that was into the Sox so I would just sit in the basement alone and watch the faint image of the game on a black and white tv. Lol.
There were two Boston papers at the time and just a few minutes each day of sports news on the local news broadcasts. Sports radio did not become a thing as I recall until I was in 8th or 9th grade when Sports Huddle came to be on WBZ AM.
It was quite different back then.
