I was fortunate enough to attend the World Series game on Oct. 17, 1976 (on my birthday!!). It was a very cold night & I didn’t have any gloves so keeping my scorecard was difficutlt. My husband wanted to give up, go to our motel & watch the game on TV. I was the more fanatic fan & refused, saying that this would probably be our only chance to see a World Series game in person.) The Reds won the game in the bottom of the ninth inning when Ken Griffey, Sr, scored the winning run. Yeah, Reds!

I remember going down to Tampa in the spring and watching spring training. The real memories, however, were the nights at the hotel, where I played catch with Petey Jr. and the Perez boys. And the players would come out in the yard and play wiffle ball with us kids. And I remember showing Pete Rose his new Baseball card. While in his room he was showing off, what I believe, was a lacrosse mit. Played Monopoly in Tony Perez’s room. Players were true human beings back then. Not untouchable.
