Hey BS,

Conservative in Fenway is really like any park — play back, keep the balls in front of you.

by Randy Booth on Jul 28, 2009 11:02 PM EDT reply actions  

conservative in fenway takes on so many meanings not just on the field

On Sunday, we sat with a bunch of stiffs! Sox didn’t play well but man oh man were my seat mates pi$$ers.

The bar is pretty high. You have to have at least 10 years with the Sox AND be in Cooperstown. The only ones that don’t fit that are Robinson and Pesky.

by Randy Booth on Jul 28, 2009 11:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

We'll let Robinson pass on that for now...

Pesky might have made it into the HoF if not for losing some of his best years to the war.
