Born in 65, I remember my Dad driving me past the "new" stadium in Foxboro when it was being built and by the mid-70's I remember being mad that the Pats were never on TV (due to the blackout rule I later learned). Of course in the early 70's the number one team around here was the Big Bad Bruins (first sports poster I ever had was Bobby Orr flying through the air after winning the cup). And while the 1975 World Series was a big disappointment, my first real memory of total fan frustration was when Ken Dyrden shut down the Bruins and prevented them from winning the cup in 70-71 (yes, I was 6 years old). Basically I've been a life long fan of all four prefessional sports teams from Boston (plus all Boston College sports), hell I even went to a Boston Breakers USFL game at the old BU Field, the Breakers won on a Hail Mary pass at the end!
