Still very vivid in my mind. The first game I ever went to was in 1973 (I was 9years old) at Fenway Park. I was just amazed when I saw the field so green and perfect; I stood there in disbelief. Then during the game I remember the jeers such as "Yaz, you're a bum". I couldn't understand because he was my hero. I suppose some expected him to hit a homer at every at-bat. And also at that game is when Dwight Evans was beaned in the head. The crowd was dead quiet as he laid there. Wow, what a day to remember.
