Well, an "I was there" and a couple almosts.
The almosts -
Yaz 3000th hit. Lived near enough to take the T in every day for a long stretch Probably 5 games. I was in HS and my parents finally said enough. So I went from the 7th to the 11th ..........and got to watch 3000 on tv like nearly everyone else. Somewhere I have film of Yaz getting out a bunch of times.
The bombing at the 96 Olympics. Dad and I went, and were in the park area during the day. Debated hanging around for the concert, but it had been a pretty long day and the act wasn't one I was really into. So we went back to the hotel.
The "I actually was there"
Havliceks last game.
Dad knew someone who had tickets to a game in Feb 78 in Hartford where the Celtics played a few games. That game got postponed because the blizzard collapsed the civic center roof. It got rescheduled to Boston Garden as the last game of the season. For some reason the other people couldn't go, and gave dad the tickets.
