Thanks for sharing those photos and story(ies) Michael.
I was watching that game as a late teenager and it was one of the very few times I shed a tear over a sporting event. Watching Yaz run the perimeter of Fenway slapping hands with fans was pretty special to see.
I recently picked up a program and the poster from that weekend and that is what sent me on the hunt for a ticket. I was surprised to find a full one at that. I have no way that I am aware of to determine if the program is for 10/1/83 (Yaz Day) or from his final game the next day 10/2/83 as I think the same program was issued both days.
