    How old are you?

    The strike to open the season ended three days after I arrived.

    RIP Luis Tiant

    I decided I liked baseball when I was 4 and saw the free black & white headshot of him included in the Sunday Globe in 1976. He was a larger than life character to a little kid in the red hat years, like a baseball Santa.

    It is high....it is far....John Sterling is gone from the Yankees broadcast booth

    I listened to a few games during spring training and the first week of the season and Sterling seemed his usual self, for better or worse. I'm going to miss him, though - despite who they worked for, John and Suzyn were ridiculous, hilarious, strangely endearing, and totally New York. I always...

    Jim Palmer Files Fraud Suit

    Jim's best friend from his playing days, O's relief pitcher Dave Leonhard, owns a florist/greenhouse in Beverly right down the street from where I grew up. My mom is tight with Dave and his wife, and I worked at the greenhouse from junior high up to college. If the Orioles were in town, Jim...

    Trot, maybe? This photo's fantastic.

    Nadir

    Game 7, 2003, I was at Mugs in Williamsburg with a friend of mine. I've never been wound tighter than I was before that game - I could barely breathe. But we got seats at the bar and sat there for six hours watching the events unfold. When Grady brought in Wake, the bartender (a Sox fan) just...

    Bill Mueller’s 2 grand slams revisited

    I was a few blocks away at a friend's place - huge Sox fan - and we were following the game online while just hanging out. But my main memory is walking home at about 2:30 AM nicely toasted and thinking about what Mueller did and how this team was starting to feel like they could do anything...

    Your top "forgot he was a Red Sox"

    The beginning of that stretch was right when I got back on board after basically losing interest in baseball when I was 11 and Yaz retired. I'd just turned 21, a friend had an extra bleacher ticket, and I figured that it was a nice night and I could just hang out and drink. Walking to the park...

    (t)PSRT - (temporary) Post-Season Rooting Transference

    Mets. I've lived in NYC for 25 years and they're my baseball mistress. Their '15 run was such a blast - I want to see them seal the deal and put it in the books. Second would be Cleveland - it's a suprisingly fun town, they haven't won in three quarters of a century, and Tito. I wish I liked...

    Your top "forgot he was a Red Sox"

    That was against Baltimore, right? I totally forgot Steve Pearce existed between mid '19 and this thread, to be honest.

    Replacing a Samsung Galaxy S8+ Phone

    Good point about the SD card. I don't even keep music on my phone - it's probably just holdover storage paranoia from the dark ages. Anyway, I'm really digging the S12+. The on-screen interface is basically the same as the S10 and having both buttons on one side takes a little getting used to...

    Replacing a Samsung Galaxy S8+ Phone

    I just upgraded from my S10+ to the S21+ yesterday. I'm still getting used to things but so far I'm impressed - everything is fast, from the general interface to the 5G. I'm not happy about the lack of SD card memory expansion, though. I'll let you know how things shake out as I get used to it.

    Rheal Cormier dead of cancer at 53

    Aw, man. Late '90s Virtual Rheality was a blast. I ran into him on 42nd Street on my lunch break during the '99 ALCS and chatted with him for a couple of minutes - he was a really nice guy. R.I.P., Frenchy.
