Retire Jason Varitek's number?

[User Name]

You've seen him. He looks sort of Asian and has the spiked hair and all. I have no big problem with him because he has formed some relationships with players and does some good interview with guys like Mookie.

 

But really, I just want to know about the game and baseball.

 

Kimmi, you are too young to remember but long ago '60's, '70's......TV 38 and Ch 5 had really good ballpark reporters with next to zero fluff. I remember Ken Coleman and Don Gillis used to have baseball lessons with the players on the pre-game shows.

 

For instance, he had Yaz explain and demonstrate how to read and get jumps. How to catch the ball properly ( we don't see much of that now ). He also had George Scott "Da Boomah" ( THE BEST 1ST baseman in Sox history! ) explain and demonstrate proper footwork and fielding techniques, etc.

 

You would have loved it.

 

Seriously, are you trying to guess Kimmi's age?

I think that we had a good woman sideline reporter in Tina Servacio (SP). She asked real questions and was very affable. Since then there has been a parade of bimbi. As I said, Heidi was nice. I say this because I actually met her in 02/2011 when Username? and I went to Fenway for a tour. We spent about 5-10 minutes talking with her at the souvenir shop. I'm not super into blonds but she was really beautiful and was smart and friendly. f*** was she tall! I'm 5'7".

 

LOL I am still giggling at the word "bimbi".

 

Like I said, I have nothing against Heidi. She seems like a nice lady. I'm glad that you are able to confirm that. It must have been a thrill to meet her.

I'm in a minority amongst men who believes certain peddling to men's hormones to be distasteful. There's a time and place for sexuality, and telling me I can't do certain everyday things without an attractive female with a big pair of tits shoved in my face is somewhat insulting. Like I said though, it's the minority opinion.

 

Well, you know what they say, sex sells.

Yeah, I know who Gary is. I have no problem with him, just as I have no problem with Heidi. I actually don't even mind the "fluff" most of the time. Sometimes it's interesting to hear about things like what Mookie's favorite food and band are.

 

I agree, I think I would have loved Ken Coleman and Don Gillis.

No need to guess my age. I'm sure I have posted it here, more than once.

And yet another reason why I like you.

No. If I was concerned or curious about her age I would just ask her.

I don't think that we were thrilled but we were definitely "pleasantly surprised".

 

It was cold as hell that day.

If we were retiring every Sox player with Variteks production, we would run out of numbers.....No.
