“Love your show, but this episode, especially! 😭
Growing up in Massachusetts, Fenway Park and the Boston Red Sox games were such a treat for our family. My dad instilled a love for baseball in some of his seven daughters.
Being a veteran of both World War II and the Korean War he was very active with the local VFW. Often they would hire a school bus to take a group of veterans into Fenway Park. In the 1970s, one of my sisters started going with them. She had her glove, her ball cap and the scorecard in her program and was probably around 11 or 12 years old. Hearing about Katie Casey brought up this image if my sister: riding on that school bus with all those older veterans, her blonde hair cascading down from under her Red Sox hat.
My father would bring his trombone and play The Charge Song to get the crowd going. I remember watching the games at home on TV and I could hear him.... and the crowd cheered.
Thank you for bringing the good memories 😭.”
