History

Historical Context

On October 21 1975, Boston Red Sox catcher Carlton Fisk hit a 12th-inning walk-off homer that lifted the Sox to a 7–6 win over the Cincinnati Reds, extending the World Series to a decisive Game 7. The dramatic shot, captured by NBC after a camera missed its cue, sparked the use of reaction shots in sports TV and fed the Red Sox’s 57-year “Curse of the Bambino.”
