    Currently and for quite some time-- David "Big papi" Ortiz

    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.

    The telephoto lens helped. LOL!!

    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.

    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.

    Is there any National announcer that people like?

    Nava runs the bases like an imbecile. Drew's ball is probably in the second row at Yankee stadium.
  11. a700hitter
    Yes, it was 1983-- before the modern era.
  12. a700hitter
    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.

    Let's light up Kuroda!
  14. a700hitter
    Lackey bends but doesn't break.
  15. a700hitter
    Lackey needs to get out of this jam.
  16. a700hitter
    Soriano running the bases like Nava. LOL!
  17. a700hitter
    It pisses me off that the Yankees got Soriano almost for free with Theo paying $17.7 million of the $25 million left on his contract.
  18. a700hitter
    I wouldn't be so sure. The Yankee offense was in a power outage before getting Soriano and Reynolds. Their HR total has spiked since the trading deadline.
  19. a700hitter
    Nice inning by Lackey. We need him to come up big today. He's got the fire in the belly. I just hope that he has enough left in his arm to take us down the stretch. BTW, what is it with major league pitchers and throwing to bases? I'll never understand that.
  20. a700hitter
    Both Soriano and Reynolds will provide more punch than Gomes or Middlebrooks down the stretch and the Cubs are paying $17.7 million of the $25 million owed to Soriano. That is looking like a pretty sweet deal by Cashman.
  21. a700hitter
    I assume that Carp will be moved to first base. Napoli would be eaten alive by Kuroda.
  22. a700hitter
    I hope that I get to see this kid in Spring Training in 2014.
  23. a700hitter
    Victorino is a key guy. When he is missing from the lineup, that hurts the team.
  24. a700hitter
    They are certainly starting a downward spiral. They need to pull themselves out of it before it becomes a death spiral.
  25. a700hitter
    The Red Sox need to stop the bleeding and go on a run. If they continue in their current malaise, the Rays will pass us like we are standing still. Making the wild card game can be a one and out proposition. That would be a huge disappointment.
