Vintage Fenway Flannel, 1941

Just pretend... It's the summer of 1941. It's an off day for the Red Sox, and you suddenly find yourself inside the team's clubhouse at Fenway Park. It's so quiet you can hear your heart pounding. Despite the dim light, freshly laundered, snow white uniforms with red trim sparkle everywhere. You don't want to disturb a thing. It's all too sacred to even touch. Where, you wonder, is your hero's stall? Where is No. 9? Might that be it, there, with the socks and the glove and the spikes and the ball? Just pretend...

Fenway Park Gold, 1946

It's July 14, 1946, in Boston, and the Indians are in the Boudreau Shift for Red Sox slugger Ted Williams. From your elevated perch slightly to the third base side of home plate you're watching as the Splendid Splinter awaits a pitch from Cleveland's Red Embree. And just look at the defensive alignment! In the infield, that's player/manager Boudreau, the shortstop, lined up on the right side between first baseman Jimmy Wasdell and third baseman Ken Keltner, who's playing just to the right of second base. Second baseman Jack Conway is out in right field near the foul line, with center fielder Jim Seerey lined up in deep right-center, and right fielder Hank Edwards in deep right. Left fielder George Case looks lonely positioned behind short. Red Embree is the pitcher, rookie Sherm Lollar is the catcher and Bobby Doerr is on deck for the Bosox. For the record, Williams went 1-for-2 in the game with a double, two walks and two runs scored. Yes, it's true, only three umpires worked the game. And how about the billboards on the Green Monster in left!

Ted Williams, 1955

It's May 28, 1955, at Fenway Park in Boston, and that's Hall of Famer Ted Williams following through on his sweet swing in a game against the Washington Senators. The Splendid Splinter's .406 batting average in 1941 highlighted a career in which he belted 521 home runs and posted a lifetime batting average of .344. The greatest hitter of all time? You won't get an argument from many on that.

Splendid Fenway Finale, 1960

It's September 28, 1960, at Fenway Park in Boston, and that's 42-year-old legend Ted Williams homering in the final at-bat of his illustrious big league career. The eighth- inning solo shot off Baltimore's Jack Fisher (who also yielded Roger Maris' 60th home run in 1961) lands in the right field bleachers. It is Williams' 29th homer of the season, 521st of his career and 248th at historic Fenway. Williams calls it quits with a career batting average of .344. Of note, the Orioles' third baseman is Hall of Famer Brooks Robinson. Gus Triandos is the catcher, and Jim Gentile is at first.

Triple Crown Clout, 1967

It's Saturday, September 30, 1967, at Fenway Park in Boston, and Red Sox slugger Carl Yastrzemski has just launched a 7th-inning pitch from Minnesota's Jim Merritt into the right field bleachers. The 3-run shot blows open a critical game and gives Yastrzemski 44 home runs, bypassing Ted Williams' club record for HRs in a season by a left-handed hitter and providing Yaz with enough round-trippers to capture baseball's elusive Triple Crown. The Red Sox will win this game, 6-4, and Sunday's vs Minnesota to outlast the Twins, Tigers and White Sox and nail down the American League pennant. Yaz will finish with 44 homers (tied with Minnesota's Harmon Killebrew) and lead the American League in RBIs (121) and batting (.326). No one has won a Triple Crown since.

Classic Fenway Clout, 1975

It's the morning of October 22, 1975, Game 6 of the Cincinnati-Boston World Series at Fenway Park, and that's Carlton Fisk pleading with his long fly ball to stay fair. Will it? ... Will it? ... Yes! Fair ball!! Home run!!! The Red Sox win!!!!. Fisk's 12th-inning homer off Pat Darcy caps one of the most exciting games in baseball history, and you're experiencing the pulsating moment from a seat located only a few rows behind the Red Sox' on-deck circle. Others visible on the field include Reds' catcher Johnny Bench, first baseman Tony Perez, second baseman Joe Morgan, shortstop Dave Concepcion, third baseman Pete Rose, left fielder George Foster, center fielder Cesar Geronimo and right fielder Ken Griffey. Fred Lynn is on deck for the Red Sox.

Rocket's Red Glare, 1986

The date: April 29, 1986. The site: Fenway Park in Boston. It's the ninth inning, and 23- year-old Red Sox righthander Roger Clemens has just frozen Seattle's Phil Bradley to notch his 20th strikeout of the game. It's a new major league record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game, breaking the modern day 19-K mark originally set by Steve Carlton in 1969. Earlier in the game, Clemens had tied the American League record for consecutive Ks, whiffing eight straight Mariners in the fourth, fifth and sixth innings. Overall, The Rocket allowed only three hits in the game and didn't walk a batter. The performance came in only the 39th starting assignment of his big league career. With this 3-1 victory over the Mariners, Clemens lifted his 1986 record to 4-0 en route to a 14-0 start. He later won the All-Star game, finished the season 24-4 and captured the American League Cy Young and MVP awards.
