    Re: Longest time as a fan?

    My first game was in Detroit against the Senators in 1969. Went on a school bus with scouts. Sat in LF Upper deck and saw Willie Horton hit a grand slam. Frank Howard hit a HR as well. Then around 1970 my Grandpa took me into a Sears store where I saw the Cubs on all the TV's. An ivy covered wall, in color no less. Santo, Billy Williams, the rest is history. First time I had seen color TV. Awesome!

    Re: Longest time as a fan?

    It was 1965, I was 5, My father was stationed in Maryland. He took me to a Red Sox\Orioles game at Memorial Stadium with a bunch of his Army Buddies. It was late in a close game with a critical at bat for the Sox. (can't remember who).

    I asked my Dad in a loud voice, "What would happen if a monster came out of home plate and ate all the players?"

    Needless to say that was the last game he took me to for a while, but I became a Red Sox fan that day!
