Bill Nowlin had standing room for Game Six of the 1975 World Series. e less-o cious ushers allowed one person to sit on each of the concrete steps in the aisles going up from the box seats and grand- stand, and he was fortunately positioned between Sections 17 and 18 — perfectly aligned with the third- base foul line with a view straight out to the left- eld wall. After Bernie Carbo’s three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth gave the Sox new life, he had a superb view of Carlton Fisk’s 12th-inning game winner.
