On this day in 1982, a line drive foul ball hits a four year old boy in the head at Fenway. The now Hall of Famer, Jim Rice, realizing that it would take EMTs too long to arrive and cut through the crowd, sprang from the dugout and scooped up the boy.

He laid the boy gently on the dugout floor, where the Red Sox medical team began to treat him.

When the boy arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later, doctors said, without a doubt that Jim's prompt actions saved the boy's life.

Jim returned to the game in a blood-stained uniform.

After visiting the boy in the hospital, he stopped by the business office and instructed that the bill be sent to him.

On April 20, 1912 – The Boston Red Sox played the first game in the history of Fenway Park after three previous attempts to play the opener had been rained out. Over 27,000 fans attended the opening, and the Red Sox had “The Million Dollar” outfield of Duffy Lewis, Tris Speaker, and Harry Hooper. In 1912, there was not a “Green Monster” (that came in 1934). Fenway had what was known as Duffy’s Cliff. A mound in leftfield, and fans were able to get right on top of the game. The fans knew way back in 1912, they were the best seats in the house, it only took ownership 90 years to figure that out.New York jumped to a quick 3-0 lead of Red Sox starter Buck O’Brien. The Red Sox and the ‘‘Royal Rooters,’’ led by Roxbury saloon keeper Michael ‘‘Nuf Ced’’ McGreevy, who had been in full cry for years backed by a brass band and bellowing their theme song ‘‘Tessie.’’ They were dressed suitably, of course, in hats and high collars. We’re not going to give in to a rough start. The Red Sox tied the game in the 6th, 5-5, and both teams scored a run in 8th. Tris Speaker will end the game in the bottom of the 11th with a walk-off hit leading Boston to a 7-6 victory to christen the new park.
