Gemme followed team since days of Ruth, opening of Fenway Park

MIDDLEBOROUGH, Mass. - Kathryn Gemme, a lifelong Red Sox fan who followed the team since the days of Babe Ruth, has died. She was 112.
Gemme died at the Nemasket Healthcare Center in Middleborough on Friday, according to the O’Neill Funeral Home.

As an 18-year-old, she attended her first game at Fenway Park in 1912 shortly after the ballpark opened. At 109, Gemme was greeted by catcher Jason Varitek and former player and coach Johnny Pesky during her last game in May 2004.

Wow. And I thought I was stubborn for being a Pats fan since the bicentennial.
