  1. Gomes is a useful platoon player, but he should not be our #5 hitter behind Ortiz.
  2. We need a good bat behind Ortiz.
  3. Ortiz is a beast. That ball was up and in on his hands.
  4. Middlebrooks crushes one!!
  5. Dempster is such a big game choker.
  6. He sucks and he could still be your hero in the clubhouse.
  7. I wish that Dempster had gotten thrown out of the game.
  8. Currently and for quite some time-- David "Big papi" Ortiz
  9. As I was purchasing my tickets from a scalper about an hour before the ceremony someone came up from behind me and grabbed me around the neck while screaming my last name. The thought that went through my mind immediately was that I was getting mugged by someone that knew me. LOL!! I turned around and it was a group of guys that went to high school with me. They were rabid Yankee fans and we were playing the Guardians. I argued baseball with these guys every day for 4 years. I asked them if they came up to heckle Yaz on his final weekend. They told me that they came up to pay tribute to him. They too had grown up with Yaz, but he was their honorable enemy while he was our hero. I thought that was nice of them.
  10. The telephoto lens helped. LOL!!
  11. The Sox showed their fortitude and fight today. The Yankees helped them with shoddy defense, but the Sox seized the opportunity and Lackey pitched like a big game pitcher. They beat the Yankees best pitcher. David Ortiz still has that big game swagger.
  12. Above are some of the photos that I found from Yaz Day in 1983. The camera that I used was a good camera, but not state of the art for 1983. I had the aperture readings wrong and it was an overcast day. Add that to the fact that I am not a very talented photographer and this is what you get. I tried to put them in chronological order. He came out of the dugout took a few waves and bows. He gave a speech and then he ran around the ballpark. I also was careful to get a picture of a budding star playing 3B that day --# 26 Wade Boggs. All in all, it was a very cool day. I will try my best to be there when they unveil the statue.
  13. Is there any National announcer that people like?
  14. Nava runs the bases like an imbecile. Drew's ball is probably in the second row at Yankee stadium.
  15. Yes, it was 1983-- before the modern era.
  16. I found the photos that I took at Yaz Day on the Saturday of his final weekend in 1983. If I get some time, I will upload the photos.
  17. Lackey bends but doesn't break.
  18. Lackey needs to get out of this jam.
