I would have to say that seeing Carl Yastrzemski's last 2 games would be the best for me! The Saturday game was "YAZ DAY" and they were playing the Indians that weekend! My girlfriends Dad was President of Cambridge Savings Bank and he had gotten us 2 front row seats by the visitors on deck circle! It was a great ceremony and as many know, Yaz did his goodbye lap afterwards and being in the front row I took a great photo of Yaz coming down the 3rd baseline towards us high fiving the fans and waving and then I got to give Yaz a high five myself as he went past! Very exciting for me!
His last game I had standing room seats and was all over the park taking pictures that day! Yaz popped up in his last at-bat and I was by the Sox dugout! As he came off the field that day to a standing ovation he handed his game hat to a young boy sitting next to the dugout! (Lucky Kid) I thought that was a nice thing to do!
Sidenote: Went to Cooperstown 5 years later to see Yaz inducted along with Johnny Bench! Great weekend!
