Opening Day - your earliest memory?
I just shared this with my family baseball buddies to help celebrate opening day and thought others may want to kick in too.

Ok, tell me what your earliest opening day memory is... what year and who were the players who you were super psyched to see?
I'll start - I definitely watched the Sox before '76 but that was the first year I recall being pumped for opening day because of the World Series run the year before.
My guys were the same as all other Sox fans then - Fisk, Lynn, Rice and Burleson. Great team over the next few years but just never quite enough pitching to get over the top

Not much sweeter than those polyester uniforms of the late 1970’s!
