Gerald R. Ford\nIn terms of downright good fun, and aggressive, delicious\nbaseball, the 1975 World Series had to be viewed as the most\ndelightful in years. The matchup made it that way. A dull game of\nbaseball is not inimical to Fenway Park.\nCincy arrived by running and batting Pittsburgh to death.\nBoston simply outclassed the surprisingly bumbling A's.\nDynasties die embarrassingly.\nWriter Wells Twombly, who is a very funny man, gave this\nSeries the best label: a sort of kiddie horror story, he said, with a\nGreen Monster, and Big Red Machine, and characters with fun-\nny names like Sparky and Burly and El Tiante and Charlie Hustle\nand Yaz. Not to mention Pudge and Cesar and Just Plain Joe.\nIn many ways it was a silly Series, haunted by umpirical boo-\nboos and key hits by pitchers. In other ways it was a grand\nSeries, exhibiting the all-around brilliance of a young legend\nnamed Bench.\nThe outside pitch was a key factor all the way. When the Reds\nwent with the pitch, they were fine. But there was always the im-\npression that Cincy was too haughty to go the other way. And in\nFenway, you never quite know which way to go.\nCincy has anointed itself as the best ballclub in the game, but\nFenway is the best place to play this game, because it is much\nlike life: jerrybuilt, confusing, noisy, cramped, unbalanced,\nlovable, damnable and, in the end, fatal. What more could one ask\nout of a Series?\nBoston wins game one: El Tiante was the whole story.

What turned things, truly, was Clay Carroll's no-out,\nM.V.P.s and ALL-STAR ROOKIES FOR 1975\npage 8\nbases-loaded walk to Fisk that made the score 2-0.
