World Series Game Four versus New York Mets
Red Sox lost 2-6. I was not a baseball fan at age 14, and I don't remember much of the game.
My father won one ticket at a work raffle, and gave it to me.
Honestly, it's too bad a real baseball fan wasn't in my seat.
Section 5, seat 1. The ticket got left in my shirt pocket and subsequently ironed.

Red Sox won 8-7. Mike Greenwell went 3-4 with a double and 2 RBI; Tom Brunansky went 3-4 with a HR and 3 RBI. A lot of familiar names on the A's, several of whom would end up on the Sox near the end of their careers:
Jose Canseco: 1-4, HR, walk;
Rickey Henderson: 1-4, triple, 2 RBI, walk;
Mark McGwire: 1-4, HR, 2 RBI, BB;
Harold Baines: 4-5, 2 runs, double.
You may wonder how I could tell the date on this badly mangled stub: Note the #33 below the line ENTER GATE A? That stands for home game #33.

The Game Which Never Happened? Neither Baseball-Reference.com or Retrosheet list this game, so I don't know what happened here. My guess is the game was rained out, and I never went to the make-up game? The fact that this ticket stub has not been torn backs up this theory.

This stub features a Final Season Of The Century logo, back in the days when the new century seemed like a big deal. After the game, we went to Chili's in the Copley Place mall and the TVs were filled with the breaking news of the JFK Jr. plane crash, which had happened the night before.
Section 4 (roof), Row C, seat 5, $26.
