Time Travel Through History With These Vintage Photos

An exciting day quickly turned scary during one of the most memorable moments in Fenway Park’s history. It was 1982, and the Boston Red Sox were playing the Chicago White Sox. A dad took his four-year-old son to the game, excited for a day of baseball and bonding. They got amazing seats, right next to the dugout and were ready to watch all the action up close. But when a foul ball was hit, things unexpectedly turned dark.

The four-year-old boy was struck in the face with a foul ball. Red Sox slugger Jim Rice immediately climbed out of the dugout and ran into the stands to help, bringing the boy to the Red Sox medical team.

This relatively unknown photograph was a major sensation at the time and actually earned the photographer a Pulitzer Prize for Spot News Photography. The photo was snapped when the photographer was on his way to a completely unrelated assignment and saw a man hanging from a telephone pole. Apparently he had received a serious electric shock which knocked him unconscious. Another lineman quickly rushed up to give him life-saving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Thankfully the man lived through the ordeal.

This moment was forever immortalized completely by chance. Lucky for us, this keen newspaper photographer recognized a good story and an even better shot when he saw the scene unfolding. The man who was saved lived a full life, and the life saver is still with us today.
