Could it really be happening,
his line shot to the corner,
the game, the Series on the line,
late inning heroics, it all came to this,
To this moment, to this one hit…
A crack of the bat, excitement,
everyone rising to their feet,
a whole nation joining with him,
jumping, praying, pushing,
Willing the ball Fair...
Jubilation, exaltation,
rising to crescendo,
happiness in this moment,
jumping for joy, leaping, our hero,
Around the bases, he ran…

Willing the ball Fair
Carlton Fisk’s 12th inning walk-off homerun,
for the Boston Red Sox, in the 6th game of the
1975 World Series, just hitting the foul pole,
October 21, 1975,
