That's a great story and read.. I can relate since I had to endure the 1986 Redsox season Overseas while station in Spain in the USAF. I remember all I had was the Stars and Stripes for the box scores and Armed Forces Radio for a sporadic game. I watched The World Series at a buddies dorm room with the games starting at 1:00 AM.. I cried after game 6..

I was in Japan, sporadically watching AFRTS as best I could. Thank you for your service!

Thanks for sharing that! I have the book that focuses on that 67 Red Sox season...great read. Seeing something from that time and hearing the personal story is flat out awesome...

Thanks so much for your story. Those last days of the '67 season are my first memories of really following baseball. I was eight years old and had been buying baseball cards with my older brother for the two previous seasons. But that summer showed me one of the greatest pennant races of all time.
