During the summer of 1975, while the Red Sox were thrilling Beantown with a team that according to Bill Nowlin, would go on to save baseball, a team of neighborhood kids banded together to rule the Lexington Summer League.
Stacking up some strong pitching performances with a fun cast of characters, these boys went on to collect their pride and joy championship jackets.
Budgets and stitching technologies in those days limited the per jacket costs the league was willing to spend, but this one was top notch!
In this baseballism, we hear directly from 7-year old Ryan about his Little League walk off homerun. His telling of the story is now a captured to replay & enjoy over and over again. Watch his excitement as he tells of the shot - and his journey around the bases - with two runners on and two runs down in the last inning of the game.
Also, keep an eye out in the background for a great stab of a line drive by the second baseman at the :50 second mark!
