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.
Gemme attended her first game at Fenway Park at age 18 in 1912 shortly after the ballpark opened and her last game in May 2004 when she was greeted by catcher Jason Varitek and Johnny Pesky.
Team officials brought the 2004 World Series trophy to her 111th birthday party in November 2005.
"That was a big day of her life," her daughter, Lucille Findley of Jacksonville, Ill., told The Boston Globe.
