Rodney Collins' Memories

On October 1, 1967, I was at Fenway Park in celebration of my 9th birthday. I will never forget that final moment in which Rico Petrocelli's catch clinched it for the Redsox and Jim Lonborg was mobbed by cheering fans. It was only my second Redsox game ever but obviously a memorable one. I have been a loyal Redsox fan ever since and I have never had a greater birthday present than the 1967 pennant. Carl Yastrzemski was my hero and the "Impossible Dream" team provided me with memories for a lifetime.
