Date: August 3, 1959
Place: Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
Game: MLB All Star Game #2
I became a Red Sox fan at an early age. Wasn't into the Dodgers or the National League. I begged and pleaded with my dad to take me to the All Star Game because I knew my hero, Frank Malzone, would be the AL starting third baseman. My dad finally relented and I wasn't disappointed. I got to see Frank smack a hanging curve ball from hometown favorite, Don Drysdale, over the left field fence as the AL struck first. The AL went on to win the game.
