absoultely sal fasano. me and my friend were at a red sox-phillies spring training game this year, and we were on the phillies side looking for a ryan howard or pat burrell. fasano came over, signed a couple, and started a conversation. hes one of those practical players who knows hes lucky to be here, and after the game he went out of his way to come back to us and shake our hands and give us his batting gloves.
i have some such as: koufax, mike schmidt, tejada, manny, teixiera, zito, harden, mulder, johan santana, fred lynn, magglio ordonez,coco crisp, troy glaus, vernon wells, and many more.
Does anyore collect autographs? I do, and I have about 250 (mostly current players), I started about 2 or 3 years ago and I get them mostly at Fenway and minor league parks. I think its a fun hobby.
i can imagine a future (the year after Manny leaves) with the lineup as follows:
C-Tek
1B-Free Agent
2B-Lowrie
SS-Pedroia
3B-Youkilis
LF-Crisp
CF-Moss or Free Agent
RF-Peña
DH-Papi
Rotation: Beckett, Paps, Lester, 2 Free Agents
Kräms' Prediction for Tonight:
Papi hits a 2 out homer in the 1st to jump on Doc early, but he begins to cruise after that, going 5 innings with just that 1 run and 3 hits. Beckett gets into a couple jams, but gets out of them with only 1 run allowed through 5 as well. In the bottom of the 6th, varitek finally breaks loose with a 3 run homer into the bullpen off Doc, making it 4-1. Beckett goes one more, then Foulke and Pappy finish us off, final: Red Sox 4 Blue Jays 1
