. . . . . the only world series I have ever attended! Standing room only tickets for games 1 & 2, paid a ticket collection $5.00 to sneak through the turn-style for game 6, and he was later busted and could not find a way into game 7. Bob Gibson won all three of his games (1, 4, & 7) and Jim Lonborg won two (2 & 5) and lost to Gibson in game 7. The cardiac kids in '67 were exciting, where previously the red sox were cellar dwellers for early sixties and a boy could get into the game for 50 cents bleacher seats and 75 cents for the right field grandstand.Boy, this was a long time ago!

Bill, love the couple of captures with the 135 APO, great color and detail. The shot with the 21 in the grand room is stunning, and the 50 lux with Life imitating art is fun capture!
Tofa, great shot of the open country and rolling green hills . . . . .
. . . . . then the reflection shot is stunning, love the detail and symmetry, simply beautiful!
ceh, wonderful B&W photography, the shot of the city street is special, love the sun burst on the hand rail, lighting in this shot is very nice!
Mohammad, lovely shot of 'My Car,' the colors of the road and sky work well and blend in with the VW.
Dan, beautiful photographs of you daughter(?) love the soft bokeh! The first shot is my favorite.
Matt, nice shots, the sax player is special, a wonderful capture. Were they taken down in Georgetown?
Dude, love your Bokeh shots!
Lloyd, great before and after shots, Saturday to Sunday, . . . . . just when you wash & wax the car and put away the snow shovels . . . . .
Charles, great shots of the coast line and surfers. All of them are quite nice but I especially love the second shot, black & white with the reflection of the women in the water, just a beautiful photograph!
ShiroKuro, nice B&W with the older Leica glass! Thanks for the inspiration, I am going to have to break out the few older Leica lenses I have from the 50's and give them a go on the M9.
Cableguy55, beautiful color and bokeh of the street performers with the 50 cron. . . . . . also love the bokeh in the B&W shot of the guitar player, nicely done!
You blink and eye and the pages keep filling up . . . . .
. . . . . thanks everyone for your contributions!

Like your framing here. It wasn't until I scrolled down to the last 5% of the image I saw your subject. Great way to keep your viewer in the frame.

Very nice both. Great reflection here.
CEH: Another really nice one. Looks like that kid is waxing the edge of that wall.
+1 from here. Very nice. Love the quality of the light especially.

The Red Sox really were pitiful for much of the 60s... I think they lost 100 games in 1965, for example. The 1967 season was a bit of a surprise, as I don't think anyone really thought they do much better than they had before. In my mind, two things stand out from that season: the first was Tony Conigliaro, who for me was about as exciting to as anyone in baseball (except for maybe Yaz
), and who was having a terrific season until he was beaned in August by a pitcher for the Angels. He was lost for the season, and I really thought that would spell the end for the Sox that season as well. Fortunately, I was wrong, and Yastrzemski, who was having his breakout season (the other thing that stands out), led them to the AL pennant, and the World Series. As much as the loss in game 7 was a huge disappointment, and it truly was, the season as a whole, "the impossible dream", was so amazing that I was able to get over that disappointment pretty quickly.
I didn't attend a single game that entire season, as we were on a western swing of our pendular existence between my mother's hometown of Boston, and my father's home on "the Res", but I listened to as many games as I could get (we only had one TV station available on the res back then, and never saw a baseball game all year), and followed the Sox via the newspaper and The Sporting News. (My mother is a HUGE Red Sox fan, and we followed the team together. As a child, she sat by the radio with a scorebook, and scored every game. Now in her 80s, she still has stacks of old scorebooks.) Yes, 1967 was a memorable year!
