When he was 19 he didn't have parents or guardian so this is how he got his nickname “Babe Ruth” because he was Jack Dunn’s new babe because he was now his guardian. Babe Ruth was a left handed pitcher and helped the Red Sox tremendously. Over the next 5 years Babe Ruth lead the Boston Red Sox to 3…

forgiveness. Ray Aleman has been the best friend a guy could ask for. We had many great times playing sports together and I hope we will get together and relive some of them in the near future. Jack Massucci is another lifelong pal and confidant who was part of our community band of brothers. As youngsters, he and I were inseparable and I am blessed to still count him among my good friends. Nonetheless, I am deeply saddened by the loss of my dear friend, Ron Moreland. Ron, who was one of…

Baseball lost a great player a just a few days ago, unceremoniously sent off into the sunset by a surprise sweep of the upstart Cleveland Indians. David Ortiz, formerly of the Boston Red Sox, decided some time ago this would be his last year, and win, lose, or draw, he seems to be sticking to his decision. As is often the case, now there is one important discussion left for Ortiz. Now that David Ortiz’s career is finished, it is our job as those who enjoy the game to examine and dissect the…

This is the man who made baseball the national pastime, the kid who started out looking like a Hall of Fame left-handed pitcher with the Boston Red Sox who became a Hall of Fame left-handed hitting outfielder with the New York Yankees. He might of not been the fittest player but he made his presence known on the field and everywhere he went. He was a walking legend and he didn't even…

It’s beginning to look like David Price can’t catch a break with the Boston Red Sox. Throughout the past few weeks, he’s been dragged through the mud, as the media criticized his leadership skills in the clubhouse. Unfortunately, the five-time All-Star won’t have the chance to stop the conversation anytime soon, because he’s been placed on the 10-day disabled list with left elbow inflammation. Price originally suffered an elbow injury in spring training, that almost sidelined him for two months.…
