Me too. Closest my dad got to seeing a World Series Red Sox win in his 66 years of life. I'll remember that night watching this game with my mom, dad, and brother forever.
This was the first World Series I ever watched, was eight years old. I had just started watching baseball the previous season. I was cheering for the Reds but even so, I appreciated what I saw that night. After Game 7 of the 1960 World Series this is the best game ever.
Vivid memories of watching the game in my college dorm room and the roller coaster of emotions thruout the game; the dead silence of seeing Fred Lynn slumped to the ground after colliding into the Monster; the Reds getting a big lead late in the game; the elation of Bernie Carbo's miraculous pinch-hit 3-run homer and seeing him fly around the bases; Dwight Evans catch and double play throw to Yaz. and finally, Fisk's home-run after midnight. the windows were open around campus during the game--the cheers echoing around campus gave me goosebumps.
God bless 1st base coach & former Red Sox player Johnny Pesky (WS '46) When the Sox won the World Series in '04 the players insisted that he was front & center during the club house celebration. When they retired his number on the right field wall at Fenway he wept as he never thought he deserved to be alongside Ted Williams #9. RIP Johnny.
Now I'll MORE THAN HONEST ENOUGH to say that I'm a DIE-HARD YANKEES fan!! However, I thought it was TOTALLY AWESOME when the Red Sox opened their 2005 season that they had Carl Yazstrezemski, Carlton Fisk, Fred Lynn and other Red Sox greats hoist up the Sox 2004 World Series flag!!!
Now that's a celebration. It's pure emotion. Not today's choreographed, bat flip 20 feet into the air, stare down the pitcher, then start to trot towards first, point at the bench, and thump your chest.
Sherm Feller at the PA mike and John Kiley at the organ. The greatest WS game ever played (perhaps the greatest MLB game ever played). What more can a fan want?
There was so many great World Series. I remember this as a kid growing up in Boston. And yet this was probably the greatest world Series ever played and game 6 was probably the greatest game that was ever played.
Did the same thing a few times growing up. But growing up in Ohio ... I'll just say my dad wasn't terribly amused when he saw me do it. At least his Reds won the next night.
@@RB01.10 Bigger difference is context, Gibson homer came in game one of a forgettable series (4-1). Fisk homerun came in the 12th inning of game six, at home, to keep his team alive and push the series (an all time great) to a seventh game. The Gibson homer is primarily remarkable for Gibson overcoming two poor legs, not something most 8 year old wiffleballers are mimicking.
cat handler -I read he asked for a raise in the off-season and was roundly criticized. When he returned for the ‘76 season he was booed at Fenway. By 1980 he was ready for a change.
Glad I got to see him as a kid playing in Chicago. Although at the end of his career, he wasn't treated much better by White Sox brass than +TX Camper makes it sound like he was in Boston.

Later that night, a couple of guys went to a bar to meet up with a friend. "So Sean," one of the guy asked, " How about the girl you meet? You think she is the one." Sean chuckled, "Well I dont know if she is the one but damn is she a fine girl. Missing a game was worth spending a night with her. How was the game? Who won?" Then the boys start began to describe to him what sounded like the best game of their life. Seeing the joy and excitement in their voice, remembering every detail, later to be known as the best game he left for a girl. One of the guy then asked, "So you think your girl is worth missing the game now." Sean just laughed and, "Right now, it doesnt seem like it but asked me again in a few years and we will see." Years later at a chapel, Sean stood at the alter nervously for the woman who will become his wife, his best man taps him on his shoudler and asked him, "Do you regret missing the game?" Sean grinned as he saw the beautiful woman entering the chapel. "I would miss the game everytime for her."
I've never really been a Red Sox fan except for certain situations like '86 WS and this series' games 6 and 7. And I was only in the 2nd grade here but I remember it like yesterday. How dramtic it was. 1st time I ever heard of Carlton Fisk. I grew up an Astros fan. Still am but Astros were always mediocre at best in those days. This was back when baseball (esp. WSs) was fun to watch.
I heard he hated the nickname Risky Fiskey the boys in the clubhouse gave ‘em. ‘Course none of the boys would ever say it to his face But by golly he earned it. Always did have the guts to swing. Now a lesser man probably’d frozen up Crumbled beneath the weight of the entire Sox nation on his back But not big ‘ole Risky In his blood It ran deep. DEEP!
This was such a great moment in baseball. Lost in all this is Bernie Carbo who came in to pinch hit in the bottom of the 8th, down three runs, with two outs. His three run homer tied the game 6-6.
It’s overrated as hell because it was completely invalidated the next night when Boston ultimately fell in Game 7. Boston would have to wait 29 more years to finally get a title
Fun fact: one of the camera guys was supposed to follow the hit ball but just as Fisk hit this homer a rat ran by his feet so he just tried to keep it on Fisk as he was looking down and dancing around the rat... and that's how we get the shot of Fisk waving the ball to the right😊
"It DID hit it [the foul pole], and Foster didn't come up with the ball, so there will be a Seventh Game." Really, Joe? In your estimation, what would have happened if Foster had "come up with the ball"? Joe Garagiola, for an ex-ballplayer, always seemed woefully unclear on what was happening on the field.
+sfshinz In all fairness, the TV networks had a lot fewer cameras in those days. Today, they have a zillion cameras, covering every cubic millimeter of the game.

Maybe Garagiola was thinking of the ball's historical value. Regardless of your opinion, I'd take Garagiola and Vin Scully calling games on the NBC Game of the Week. They were the best.

The foul pole is a vertical extension of the foul lines--which are in fair territory. So, yes, a batted ball that hits the foul pole is fair--and a home run.
This WS is considered by MLB historians and many journalists and fans to be the greatest WS of all time. Each game was a slug fest back and forth. The Reds would homer to take the lead and the Sox like Fred Lynn, Bernie Carbo, Fisk etc would answer and every game was a nail biter!
If baseball moved at this pace it wouldn't be so bad to watch it took 20 sec from time he stepped in batters box to get 2 pitches and hit. Now it take probably closer to 2 min with all time batters and pitchers waste in between pitches
Even though I lived nowhere near Boston, as a little kid I always liked the Red Sox because I liked their red/white/blue stirrups. Why can't the current team just wear them once as a "throwback"? The pants down to the shoes or the all red sock does nothing for me.
@@millypoo7713 oh good grief. Relax. It was a heartbreaking loss after a thrilling win. Offensive failure after an iconic offensive display - baseball in a nutshell.

Wurdswurth the Reds won thanks to Joe Morgan. Sigh...even though I am a Yankees fan through and through, the Red Sox deserved to win this World Series...maybe. The two teams would later meet in the World Series again in 1990, in which the Reds SWEPT the Red Sox. So the Sox were never able to get their revenge when they met the Reds in 1990.
Tyler Nersinger You are correct. They swept the Red Sox 4-0 in the ALCS, and then proceeded to sweep the heavily favored Athletics 4-0 in the World Series too.
Uh, no. Think about it: there's no way the Cincinnati Reds could face the Boston Red Sox in the ALCS since they're from two different leagues. The Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates in six games in the NLCS in 1990. The Oakland A's swept the Red Sox in the ALCS.

Is it still classed as home run if it hits the foul post?

Stockton was wrong. Fisks homer was not over the wall into the net. It was into and off of the foul pole and into the glove of the left fielder.
If baseball moved at this pace it wouldn't be so bad to watch it took 20 sec from time he stepped in batters box to get 2 pitches and hit. Now it take probably closer to 2 min with all time batters and pitchers waste in between pitches
