One October Fall
World Series with Red Sox and Reds
Late getting to bed
Carlton Fisk hit his late home run
They were not yet done
Heartache from Game 7 final score
There'd be many more
Till 2004's famous comeback
A near heart attack
2007, 13, 18
So much would they mean
I'd send him the Championship gear
He would proudly wear!
We got introduced to Dice-K
One Jupiter day
Sitting with my husband and dad
What a gift I had!
Till they traded Mookie away
And Dad died the next day
Written early March when in Florida for Spring Training and Dad's service.
Posting on my first Father’s Day without him.

Added an update for the delayed service for my dad September 2021:
I pushed
the team away
Been
cheering for the Braves
They
began back in Boston
My
husband found it Awesome
That my dad saw game back then
Working back to the Sox again
