This is Friday. Nuff said.

Weather

Warm/hot with a threat of thunderstorms

This date in Bristol Red Sox history

It took 10 innings, but the BriSox dropped a tough 6-3 decision to the Redding Phillies. Rick Bosetti (later played for the Blue Jays, Cardinals, A’s, and Phillies) and Al Lever broke the 3-3 tie.

Bristol’s Frank Mannerino’s double in the first inning accounted for two of Bristol’s three runs.

Speaking of July 14, 1973

Vandals damaged two large windows at Bristol Eastern Highs School. Windows at O’Connell Elementary School on Park Street were also smashed.

Still not done with July 14, 1973

It was announced on July 14, 1973, that State Rep. Gardner Wright was selected by the Democratic State Central Committee to represent Democratic legislators at a summer symposium. The topic for the lecture series was “Connecticut Politics 74.”

The dismount

Thanks for visiting. Swim at your own risk, Bristol.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

  • Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
