The Saddest Red Sox story of all time!

[joeybee12]

I don't know why I haven't thought of this in years--maybe I was blocking!

Anyway, if you remember the 1967 World Series, the Red Sox lost to the Cardinals in Game 7, which, if I recall correctly, was an afternoon game.

On that same day we had to give up the little beagle puppy we'd had for only a couple months. I blame my rotten sister--she insisted we get one, and of course we got attached, and my father couldn't handle the allergies, which is why we never had a dog before.

Anyway, I sat in my room (I was just a tyke, of course) and cried all day. My father tried to get me out to watch the game, but I wouldn't budge.

So maybe this isn't that sad a story, since I didn't watch the Red Sox lose in 7, as I did in 1975 and then 1986!

1. Poor Pup

It must've been hard on him too!

Well, at least one heartbreak overshadowed the Sox for once. I was a toddler in '67 and blissfully unaware of the sport tradegy that would unfold for the rest of my living days.

How old were you in '67?

2. Do you really think I'm gonna reveal my age!??!!

Suffice to say that I was old enough to understand baseball!
