October 21, 1975: Another year to remember Carlton Fisk and game 6

It seems like the whole country was up watching game 6 of the 1975 World Series.  It was about 12:30 ET when Fisk hit the foul pole and ended one of the greatest baseball games ever played.

It took me a while to fall sleep because the post game celebration went on for a while.   I don't know if anybody slept that night in New England.

Cincinnati and Boston went back to work the next night to play game 7.  It was a pretty good game.  Yaz made the last out of the game and the Reds were the champs.

It was the greatest baseball moment of my generation.

1975, Game 6 and that late night Fisk homerun!

We remember today another anniversary of Carlton Fisk’s 12th inning home run to win game 6 of the 1975 classic between Boston and Cincinnati.

I stayed up and watched the homer, the celebration, the post game interviews and then hit the pillow to wake up at at 6 am!

The Reds won game 7 the next night!

Game 6 had so much drama, from that 8th inning home run to tie the game, the bottom of the 9th double play to kill a Red Sox rally, the catch in right field, great pitching and that 12th inning homer.

It was great baseball, just great baseball!
