    Whose Departure From the Sox Devastated You Most?

    Babe Ruth. While I wasn't alive at the time I was told for many years it was the reason we couldn't win. Nomar by a lot.

    Thank You CC Sabathia

    I saw him start the 2000 Hall of Fame game at Doubleday field in Cooperstown. There was so-much anticipation about the potential for this kid. He lived up to it, and more. I also caught the first home-run in the Home Run Derby that day, but I digress. Class act, CC.

    I was at the taping of the Triple Play in the Odd Couple movie. it was taped before a regularly scheduled game between the Mets and the Pirates. The Pirates also got caught batting out of order that day -- something I've never seen in person again. During the top of the ninth inning of a Mets...

    2016 Season Photo Thread

    Sitting still -- what are the specs on your Cuevas photo -- ISO, shutter speed, is that all the way out to 400mm? Do you shoot mostly using the manual mode? I have aspirations to shoot a picture like that...

    Carolina Mudcats (great name) team bus flips after Salem Red Sox game

    Agree this could have been really bad. Thankfully, it wasn't. Mudcat wrote a book: The Black Aces: Baseball's only African-American Twenty-game winners (13 at the time of writing in 2007). I met him in Cooperstown -- a super nice guy.

    Jeter: The Final Weekend

    Isn't that what Ted Williams did in 1960 -- finished at Fenway and either didn't make the trip to Yankee Stadium or didn't play during the final weekend?  I think Jeter will choose to play.

    SoSH Photos from Fenway 2013

    I was looking at my Playoff photos.  The Ortiz, Victorino and Gomes Home Runs receive justifiable love, but this moment was pretty sweet too.
