About

Game 6 of the 1975 World Series was a pivotal moment in baseball history, as the Boston Red Sox faced off against the Cincinnati Reds at Fenway Park. The game was filled with tension and excitement, stretching into extra innings after the Red Sox tied the score in the eighth inning. Bernie Carbo's three-run home run against Rawly Eastwick was a key moment, tying the game at 6-6 and sending it into overtime. The game culminated in the 12th inning with Carlton Fisk's iconic walk-off home run, which he famously waved fair as it hit the left field foul pole. This dramatic moment won the game for the Red Sox, forcing a deciding Game 7. Despite losing the series the next day, Fisk's home run remains one of baseball's most enduring images, symbolizing the intensity and drama of the 1975 World Series.
