- Alex Cora has confirmed newspaper report he will not make the trip to meet the president. So basically it’s the white Sox who’ll be going.
- Red Sox manager Alex Cora: “We always complain about the weather in April. We don’t in October.” I don’t think I’ve ever heard it put quite that way.
- Unfortunately, Fenway Park was built before rain had been invented.Replying to @The7Line
00:00 - Pete Frates, the greatest athlete in Boston history, has passed away, per family. What a great fighter. He will never be forgotten.
- Orlando Cabrera, shortstop for 2004 WS champion Red Sox: “I live in New Hampshire now. Every day, someone asks how long I played for the Red Sox. I say, ‘Three months.’ But that’s all it takes.”
- Tim Wakefield: The Pride of the Red Sox. Here’s my column @TheAthletic The paywall has been removed. Column is free and available to all. theathletic.com/4919011/2023/1…
- J.D. Martinez will visit the White House. “I believe it’s an honor to go ... that’s our White House.”
- I wrote a story in April 2020 in which I texted an array of Boston sports people and asked them: What are you most looking forward to when the pandemic is over? This is a screen grab of the response I received from Tim Wakefield.
- We’re having a little talk. Who pulled the bread off the counter when I went upstairs to get my iPad?
- I’m not a fan of MLB players being mic’d up but Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright just used the opportunity (while warming up to face the Braves) to be thoughtful and educational rather than trying to be a character. Outstanding.
- Nick Cafardo and I were often seated next to each other at ballgames. This photo is from the 2014 World Series at AT&T Park. Rest In Peace, Nick. This biz is forever changed with your passing.
- Awesome pic of Tom Brady leaning forward to listen to a question from an older media member. Cool. #patriots
