    Dave who? Just kidding- remember it well. It was a clutch hit for sure but that doesn't make him a clutch player in my estimation. Some of us were baseball fans at the age of eight. In many respects, Yaz was a clutch player throughout the course of his career. 1959 - Nellie Fox - probably why I played second base.

    repeat - clutch = Yaz in 1967. At the plate as well as in the field. He isn't the only one - it is a special thing.

    clutch = Yaz = 1967

    Who will be Papi this year?

    I just got bored. Even though it was just a simple sentence I knew that I couldn't sneak it by. Let the good stats fly.

    They will miss the that big bat and its' threat in the middle of their lineup.

    Bruno Samartino

    Lou Albano?

    I don't remember the names particularly of past GM's. I really don't care very much about them. My concern as a fan is this team going forward. I like the moves that have been made.

    How about treats? be on high alert if she tries to teach you how to pay dead.

    I agree with you here. I've been saying it for awhile - there could be more to this story than we are going to find out. Hope I am wrong because I like the kid.

    I really enjoy reading these types of posts. All of our memories really are special. I learned a lot of math by studying box scores and doing my own stats.

    In my mind - there is no question. Speaking here for no one other than myself. If I had to make a bet, my bet would be that most people agree that there is no question as to Leon being the clear front runner.

    Bud Selig is in the Hall of Fame. I continue to be amazed by the number of people living in the glass houses of the world today. If he is in, the people who helped to put him there should not be penalized for doing what they did during the era that he oversaw. If it is even suggested that someone might have used steroids their HOF stock seems to go down - that is a joke.

    I'm glad about that. Going in to the spring, there should be no question about who the starting catcher will be. Leon earned it in every way. things could change for sure, but that is the way it is right now.
  16. cp176
    I agree with everything here. You have to get to the big dance before you can win it. Price is a horse!

    We probably are going to be hearing all kinds of interpretations of what Farrell said about the catching situation. I'm glad that we don't get told all of the gory details if there are any. It is possible I think that the people who truly know what is going on are more impressed with Leon and even Swihart's potential going forward than they are with that of Vazquez. I just want the best catcher overall to catch. It is Leon going into spring training.

    Probably due to my age, but I think that the era of 24 hour news and sports has dumbed down my approach to both and made them both a lot less exciting to me. Some of my best baseball memories come from my remembering sitting in a horse barn in Conn. listening to afternoon ball games with my grandfather during the early to mid sixties. When we bought our home in Maine in 1980, I found old newspapers in the walls (insulation those days) vintage 1920's and 1930's - I really enjoyed looking through those sports sections.
  19. cp176
    Back to Vazquez - I would be surprised if he is ever the long term solution behind the plate for Boston. Based on Farrell's recent lack of comments about him, i still feel that there is a story there that we don't know anything about and probably won't. If it isn't Leon (which I think it will be ) I am betting on Swihart going forward.

    I agree - i just have to laugh just a little when I hear that it is impossible to compare athletes from the 70's and 80's to the present. bigger, stronger, faster actually kicked into gear a long time ago. Personally, the 1967 dream season was so unreal and just so much fun for me. I had roughly a decade where that is all I did and for the most part all I thought about. I actually think that I enjoyed the games a little more when I had to work a little harder to see and hear them.
  21. cp176
    I think that that is about the time I had to start growing up.
  22. cp176
    I have no problem at all comparing eras. For the most part, it seems as though the people that don't think that you can are the people who have have actually not lived through more than one. Personally, if you take the Red Sox lineup from between 75 and 80 with the addition of our starting pitching, I think that that equals dynasty.

    You are now bringing back the memories! The golddust twins that year were and continue to be the best one two punch that I have seen in Boston. As much as I loved Papi and Manny, I still would take Lynn and Rice. As bad as the management group might have been, somebody must have been doing some good stuff, because their talent level was absolutely loaded.
  24. cp176
    This isn't an arguement either - just a couple of guys talking about what might develop. All good and right now particularly for us. I did see Lynn play a number of times. At 6'1' " 190, I think that he was bigger than Benintendi is going to be. I also think as a diehard fan that if Lynn had continued his career in Boston, he would be in the HOF today. If Benintendi ever becomes comparable to Lynn, we will have ourselves a good one for sure. Moncada still is a great unknown. This might sound like a criticism of Beni but it isn't. Personally, I have not seen a player in Portland with the types of physical gifts that Moncada has. He may not develop the way some still think that he might but if he does maybe we can resign him down the trail. Now that you mention it though, I do agree with you about his swing and its fluidity. It does remind me of Lynn's. Lynn size just game him more punch behind it.

    Lordy lordy do I miss the old daze!
