I was working for the company broadcasting the Series that year and also did the 3 games a Dodger Stadium. 30+ years later it still is the 2nd largest single paycheck of my life, surpassed only by the check that included the New Orleans convention of 1988. Of course I got paid time and a half for overtime back then. I’ve seen 4 games at Yankee Stadium, the 4 games of the 1977 World Series.

My last pilgrimage there was in 2003, I think, for a post-season game with a friend (a Yankees fan) who flew up from Miami for the occasion. The Sox lost, despite my heartfelt cheering, but at least my friend who had secured the tickets in the first place was happy. Guess our next visit to a ballpark will have to be to Shea!
