If you could go back in time to visit one game...

The one game I`d love to go back in time was of course my very 1`st Boston Red Sox game that my father took my brother and I to in 1968. We sat about 8 rows back behind the visitors (Indians) dugout on the 3`rd base side. I remember being absolutely amazed at the size and surroundings of Ole Fenway. The crowd, actually seeing the players close up, and the whole 1`st game experience was of course a once in a lifetime day. Pretty sure the Sox won 8-3 with Hawk Harreleson, George Scott and maybe Mike Andrews going deep. Hard to believe that was 45 years ago, Thank you Dad as you can see it was a day I`d never forget !

My first game was also 1968 - Dad took us to it as well. Your description of your own experience really brings back memories. Other than the sheer hugeness of the inside of the Astrodome, I remember watching McCovey and Mays standing around talking to each other during batting practice and Juan Marichal pitched the entire 11-inning game. Won't see that happen again.

3 games in my mind:

A Sandy Koufax perfect game
(enough said)

A Nolan Ryan No-Hitter
(I did see the CalTech Radar game in Guiness Book Records)

A 1916 Duel between pitchers Walter Johnson and Babe Ruth
(August 15, 1916 Ruth defeated Walter Johnson 1-0 in 13 innings)
