When they told me at the hospital I’d need a “ walker” when I got home…I thought they meant Johnny Walker! Seriously, this is definitely not a walk in the park.

Devastating news about Tim Wakefield. I only knew him off the field, but he was a very good guy. Class act. Gentleman. Our thoughts go out to his family and all those who knew and loved him.
Saying goodbye next week to my old well used knees.
#ThrowbackThursday
Ready to say hello to two new knees. DOUBLE partial knee replacement for me. Maybe too many run-ins with the Green Monster?
On this date in 1981, the Boston Red Sox trade my favorite player in the whole wide world, Freddy Lynn, to the California Angels. I was devastated. I still haven’t gotten over it.
Farewell to one of the greats of the game and one of the great gentlemen of the game.
@Orioles
The baseball world will miss Brooks Robinson. Our thoughts are with his family.
Let’s set the story straight once and for all. I NEVER WANTED TO LEAVE BOSTON. The ownership then had no intention of signing Fisk, Burleson or me. Money was never the issue. It was “ personal “ with this ownership, and they dealt with us accordingly. Too many believed the media
@HonestLarry1
Freddy Lynn was an amazing ballplayer but wanted to go home to Southern California to play, way too soon for many Red Sox Fans back in the day - After he left a lot of us had a Love/Hate thing going for Mr. Lynn!!!
A special night
@RedSox
A tribute to Jerry Remy tonight. Burleson, Stanley,Dewey, Rice and Eck.

We lost a very good player and a class act today. Strongest handshake ever. Tim McCarver was a great baseball ambassador off the field and one of my first teammates in ‘74. Gone too soon.

Today is Ted William’s birthday. He is explaining to me here about the Theory of Hitting. He was way ahead of his time.

Wish he had been around more often.
Wheels up saying good bye to Boston. But not before a big hello to another teammate/friend

I was shocked to hear about the sudden passing of my old teammate. He was our closer before they called it a closer.
My thoughts go out to his family. He will be missed.
We’re saddened by the passing of Dick Drago, a staple of the 70’s Red Sox pitching staff and a beloved teammate.
We extend our sympathies to the Drago family.
