Wade Boggs, 1976.
“Would take about $20-$25,000 to keep him out of college. Not worth that much.”
The Red Sox would draft him in the 7th round. Don’t know how much it cost. Worth every penny.
David Ortiz spoke from the heart at today’s Red Sox game. I stand with Big Papi and the people of Boston - Julius

@FCC - Official twitter account of the Federal Communications Commission who could, if they chose, penalize Ortiz, the Red Sox or NESN for Big Papi’s choice of words. Luckily they have some common sense. |
The last time that Fenway was not sold out?
May 15, 2003
John Burkett started for the Sox. Alan Embree got the win. Brandon Lyon got the save. They defeated the Texas Rangers 5-4.
Attendance: 31,956 (Tonight’s - 30,862)
The Red Sox Streak of Selling Out Fenway Ends at 820 Games
…and Joel Hanrahan blows a 2-run lead by giving up 3 hits and 5 runs in 2/3 of an inning. Orioles win 8-5.
This is 2nd time that Yankees have started 0-2 w/ both games at home + both losses by 3+ runs. It also happened in 1917… vs Red Sox

Jonny Gomes will DH for the Red Sox on Opening Day. Last Opening Day DH who wasn’t David Ortiz? Jeremy Giambi in 2003. - Pete Abraham (@PeteAbe)
Jackie Bradley will start in left field for the Red Sox
Bradley is the youngest left fielder in Boston (22 on Opening Day) since Carl Yastrzemski (21 in 1961, 22 in 1962).
The “bleacher creatures” doing a roll call that includes Kevin Youkilis as one of their own?? CAN’T WAIT!
