Correct, Valerie!

I still associate her with Bo Belinsky and Aqua Velva!

me, too, that's so funny! i was going to mention that.

That looks like Jimmy Piersall!

I remember in '64 when he stepped up to the plate wearing a Beatles wig!

i was witness to a lot of his shenanigans in Boston! cannot imagine how his wife dealt with him and his problems and their 9 children!!

I saw Tiant pitch for the Red Sox once in Baltimore. It was a doubleheader in 1975. We had seats in the upper deck directly behind home plate. (I'd never sat there before.) Tiant pitched one game. Mike Cuellar pitched the other. They both pitched complete games and won. Tiant had his screwball, and Cuellar had his Cuban palmball, and it was eighteen innings of the ball squiggling into the catcher's mitt! I'll never forget it.

I was lucky enough to live in the Boston area during the Tiant era. My office was 3 stops from the park and bleacher seats were only a buck or two, and plentiful. Many days I took advantage of this situation.

and when i spent half my life in the late '50s in the bleachers, tix were 50 cents!!! (and we got to flirt with the pitchers in the bullpen!!) LOL
