The 1975 Red Sox remembered on the 50th anniversary of their legendary World Series vs. the Reds
As part of the celebration this week, the Sox welcomed back numerous former players to watch from the Legends Suite at Fenway. On Tuesday's NESN telecast, the broadcasters wore 70s-era attire and a 70s-era graphics package was implemented for the third inning. Wednesday's series finale will give out replica 1975 pullover jerseys to the first 7,500 fans in attendance. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Fisk, 77, was among the ex-players in the ballpark, and he was greeted with a raucous ovation after being shown on the videoboard in the middle of the third inning. Advertisement 'I think it's cool,' Sox manager Alex Cora said of the celebration. 'Obviously, the players involved were studs. Different type of baseball, but at the end of the day, a bunch of Hall of Famers going at it. 'If you go back and watch some of those games, they're fantastic. We can all talk about the Fisk homer, but the whole series was a back-and-forth.' In the half-century since the '75 Sox endeared themselves to New England, the franchise has seen its infamous 86-year title drought snapped, and went on to win four championships in a 15-season span. Advertisement But for those who witnessed the 1975 World Series — and for those who played in it — the memories remain ingrained as a singular moment in club history. Right fielder Dwight Evans, who played in Boston from 1972-1989, was best-known in the series for his spectacular catch to rob Joe Morgan of an extra-base hit in the 11th inning of Game 6. During an interview with NESN on Monday, Evans described the moment he realized the magnitude of what he was taking part in. 'It was Pete Rose coming to me at third base, when [Reds manager] Sparky Anderson changed the pitcher,' Evans said. 'And Pete says, 'This might be the greatest game I've ever played in.' And I was 23, but I'm just looking around, and I just didn't see it. But I woke up right around then and realized how important it was.' But while the celebration took hold this week, it was without one treasured member of the team: ace Luis Tiant, who died in October at age 83. Known as 'El Tiante,' the Cuban lefthander played for six major league teams during his 19-year career, including eight seasons in Boston. In the 1975 World Series, the Sox won all three games Tiant pitched — including an 155-pitch complete game in Game 4. 'Going to spring training and just being with him for the first time, we knew he was a character,' slugger Jim Rice said of Tiant. 'He's the type of guy who kept you loose, he got on you — but he got on you in a positive way. Advertisement 'Even in spring training, he grew on us a bit and became a pain — but that's what we miss about him.' Cora was born on Oct. 18, 1975 — the second of four days of rainouts between Games 5 and 6 of the series — and later grew up idolizing some of the players from both sides. 'I used to have a poster of Davey Concepcion in my bedroom, kind of like, wow. He was amazing,' Cora said. 'Tony Perez, being back home and always around, that always caught my attention. Just a bunch of good players.' Coincidentally, the Reds hosted their own 50th anniversary reunion celebration last week at Great American Ball Park, bringing back 23 members of the 'Big Red Machine' squad that won back-to-back titles in '75 and '76. Reds manager Terry Francona, who also managed the Sox' first two championship teams of this century, enjoyed watching the celebrations unfold from both sides over the past week. 'I literally just saw the guys that beat their [expletive] over the weekend,' Francona said on Monday. 'But I will look forward to [the Sox celebration], because seeing Yaz is great, and Fred Lynn was one of my all-time favorite players.' What a pair of rookie outfielders the Red Sox had in 1975: Fred Lynn (left) in center field, and Jim Rice in left. They drove in 100 runs apiece during the Sox' AL-pennant winning season. ASSOCIATED PRESS As Rice reflects back to what made that team so beloved, he feels part of it was the team's homegrown core — between himself, Evans, Fisk, Fred Lynn, Carl Yastremski, and the many others who remain Red Sox royalty all these years later. 'When you think about having a dynasty, you think about a team like Steinbrenner put together for the Yankees,' Rice said on NESN. 'But we were all Boston Red Sox, a dynasty.'

Cuban women's volleyball team denied US visa to compete in Puerto Rico
HAVANA, Cuba -- The Cuban women's national volleyball team was denied a chance to play in a tournament in Puerto Rico following the new visa restrictions imposed by U.S. President Donald Trump. The Cuban Volleyball Federation said last week that the team, comprising 12 athletes, a referee, and several coaches, had their visa request denied and will be unable to attend the tournament later this month. 'The disappointment is huge because I train every day, every hour of training is leading up to this and dedicate myself to it,' national team player Laura Suarez told The Associated Press. 'It's really disappointing not to be able to participate in the competition, which is what I've been preparing myself for.(asterisk) Cuba was scheduled to play in the NORCECA Women's Final Four tournament in Manatí, Puerto Rico. The tournament includes the host nation, Mexico and Costa Rica and it awards ranking points toward qualification for the Volleyball Nations League. 'We were focused on the competition because it's right there," said Dayana Martínez, another player. "Arriving at the embassy and being denied the visa affects us a lot because that competition gives us points to improve our ranking,' The Cuban team's coach, Wilfredo Robinson, said the decision means his team is likely to miss out on the Nations League. 'The competition grants points for each match and at the end it all adds up," Robinson said. 'In September we have another tournament and if we get there needing to achieve 80 or 100 points we are not going to be able to do it.' The United States added Cuba to a list of 12 countries with restrictions for entering the U.S. or its territories, effective from early June. It includes nationals from Afghanistan, the Republic of Congo, Iran, Venezuela, and other nations. 'Denial of visas is part of a racist and xenophobic list of visa restrictions,' Cuban foreign minister Bruno Rodriguez wrote on his X account. In a message sent to The Associated Press, the U.S. Embassy in Cuba stated that, according to its privacy policies, it could not comment on specific cases but that directives were being implemented to secure the borders and protect U.S. communities and citizens. The Cuban women's national team won back-to-back world championships in 1994 and 1998. It also won three Olympic golds in a row in Barcelona 1992, Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000. The U.S. measures are likely to impact many more Cuban athletes who depend on international competitions, including some on American soil to qualify for major championships and the next Olympics scheduled to be played in Los Angeles in 2028.
