My favorite memory was my late step-father who was from Westminster, MA tried to take me to my first baseball game in 1995. You couldn't get Red Sox tickets, period. I remember standing outside of the stadium hoping we could score some tickets, no luck. A month later, he took me to Cincinnati to see my first game. Been a Reds fan ever since. : ) While I do appreciate Red Sox history and Red Sox nation, who knows, I could have turned out a Red Sox fan.
