I doubt anyone cares but on the plane ride up fitty cent was on my plane. Pretty cool. Ask me questions about the games if you want.

 

You should of massacred him

Why was the Florida game post-poned? I busted out my Green Jersey for this day... oh well, at least there's college BBall today. I got a jump start on my usual st. patties day tradition this year... if you know what I mean.

No, on my plane ride up to Florida. Well, I didn't go nonstop. He was on the plane from Boston to Philly. Then I went from Philly to Ft. Myers but he wasn't on that one.

 

I'm scanning some pictures soon and I'll put em up here.

You said "up," which generally implies going North, so I thought you meant on the way back. What was he doing in Boston?

[DOrtiz4prez]

Well, you heard about like that shooting at him in an interview right? Well, that was for a boston radio station. He was going to Philly to visit some friends. I know all this because my friend, who I went with, his mom was in first class sitting next to him and his girlfriend.

 

I was back in coach.

Curt is making his MLB Spring Training debut today against the Twins, its at 1:05 on NESN.

[stocker323]

65 pitches for Curt today in his first MLB Spring Training game. His line was 3.2 innings 3 runs 5 hits 2 walks 3 strikeouts. The first run wasn't really his fault as Manny misplayed a ball and Bellhorn and Renteria had a little miscommunication on a bleeder up the middle. In the 4th he gave up back to back homers to Jones and Restovich.

 

Overall he looked pretty good, the only negative I'd say would be his location, but that will come with a few more starts. I think the home opener could be reachable right now.

Ok, well on Wednesday, the 23rd, I was at the Spring Training game against the Reds. Sean Casey and Adam Dunn are beasts. DO almost cleared that 40 foot tall tarp in straight away center, 410 ft.

 

Anyway, that is irrelevant. While I was there drooling at the nice seats we had, my friend's dad recognized the man sitting next to us, but couldn't quite put a name to it. He had a huge world series ring on, and so we asked him about it. He said it was from the '70s, and my friend's dad immediately recognized the figure as a Yankee. Yep, a member from the '76 Yankees that went by the name...

 

*drum roll*

 

Jim Beady---so I was wondering:

Because 1976 was a good 14 years before I was born---->does anyone who was around back then know anything about him off the top of their heads? I know there is something called "google," but I am too lazy to use it. Anyone got anything interesting about him? If so, it would be cool to hear it. And another thing, we also met an agent, I forget his name, but he was an agent for many famous, famous Red Sox...one being Carlton Fisk.

 

I gotta tell ya, you never know what you can find at games in the Spring.

 

I also went to the game on Thursday against the Orioles, and I gotta tell ya, Sosa looked EXCELLENT. Solid contact everytime...he's gunna have a good year. Even the outs that he recorded were smashed to all areas of the deep outfield.

 

So that's my spring training story----now back to the point:

 

Any information on Jim Beady? And also anyone know the name of Carlton Fisk's agent? (I see his face but can't remember the damn name.)
