Wonderful review of a decade many prefer to abandon. As an 11 year old that summer of ‘75 you captured the essence of the era I recall. Selfishly, I’ll contend that baseball’s renaissance, which you astutely cite as commencing that summer, was due in large part to our magnificent Cincinnati Reds and the most remarkable of World Series ever played that fall against the Red Sox. Thanks for the wonderful account of the time!
