Those late 60 era teams easily represented the most exciting times to watch baseball in general for me. No question at all. When Billy Rohr just about had the no hitter that spring highlighted by Yaz's catch to last weekend when we were all glued to radios and tvs anticipating what was going to happen - concluding with that easy pop up catch by Rico. "the impossible dream"-
That was before my time, but it seems like the games meant more when we were young.
That 75 team really got me into baseball more than ever before. Although my heart was broken, that team (all the way up to 1978) will always hold a special place in my heart and mind.
Tiant, Lee, Lynn, Burleson, Rice, Evans, Carbo and more.
2004 was incredible. 2018 was amazing. 2007 & 2013 were great, but there's something about those teams of the mid to late 70's that makes it more special than the others.
First love, maybe?
