Are you kidding?? Only a person who knows nothing of the Red Sox would even
*think* such a thing, much less put it into print. There have been Red Sox
fans who lived out their entire lives waiting and hoping for the dream to
come to fruition. On Oct 28 of '04, there were thousands of gravestones in
cemeteries all over New England bearing Red Sox caps, with notes attached
from loved ones saying "We did it, Dad......."

I just looked up the attendance records and you are indeed correct. My
apologies to all the Red Sox fans. Generally 2 million+ in attendance from
1976 on, with only a couple of off years.

The Cleveland Indians did not see that type of attendance until 1993 and we
had a nice streak of sold out games for the entire season from '96 to '00.

BTW: What happened in 1967 to cause the sudden upturn in attendance at
Fenway?

After the season, Ken Coleman et al put out an album (remember them?) titled
"The Impossible Dream" -- an audio recap of the story of the season and
post-season run, complete with stirring music, etc., etc., played endlessly
in the households of RedSox Nation through the off-season of 67-68. My
little brother, who turned eight that season and is today a high muck-a-muck
indeed in his company, can to this day recite the script of that album
verbatim. Just talking about that season brings a smile to me!
