It was about the same time that the televised games moved from 
channel 5 to channel 38.  We lived in Bedford at the time, where 
neither WMEX/WITS nor channel 38 came in very well.  My father, a 
really big Red Sox fan, gumbled about why a major-league baseball 
team should be dealing with minor-league stations.
