May 18 1969 vs Seatlle Pilots.

One of my most offbeat Fenway memories is a May 1969 game against the expansion Seattle Pilots( later the Milwaukee Brewers) In this game, won by Seattle 9-6, Larry Haney( 9 lifetime HR) Ray Oyler(15 lifetime HR ) and pitcher Mike Marshall( 1 lifetime HR) all homered off Red Sox hurler “Fireball” Fred Wenz, offsetting a ninth inning grand slam by Carl Yazstremski. Ten years later, I did witness Yazstremski’s 3000th hit.
