Bernie Carbo made Boston Red Sox and World Series history in Game 6 of the 1975 Classic, hitting a two-strike pitch for a three-run home run with two out in the bottom of the eighth inning, evening the score with the favored Cincinnati Reds, leading to an extra inning win for the Red Sox.
That swing of the bat landed Bernie Carbo in the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.
Bernie would play 12 major league seasons before leaving baseball, addicted to drugs and alcohol.
While in the hospital recovering from it all, he was told about and finally discovered Jesus Christ as his Savior. That experience saved Bernie, allowing him time and the chance to turn his life around.
Now, and for many years, he has given, and continues to give, scores of speeches to whomever will listen. Through the founding of Diamond Club Ministry, he hosts once a year a three-day Fantasy Baseball Camp for young people and their families.
Bernie uses the game of baseball to teach these people about his relationship with Jesus.
As Bernie tells it, "I tell the greatest story ever told through the greatest game ever played.
