Deep to left….Yastrzemski…won't get it. It's a home run!
Lids.com has a couple that look like something you might be interested in. I have attached the links. One has a white "B" while the other had a red "B". The white "B" has all white exposed stitching, while the red "B" has red and white exposed stitching.
@gfscarface13 really? Because the championship banners look the same to me… and before you start talking about Boston steroid users, lets take a look at the yankees. Clemens, Giambi, Sheffield, A-rod, Pettite, Mike Stanton. And those are just a few from the recent years.. If you tried to take away a championship from a team just because a few players used steroids then you might as well just whipe out mlb history from the previous 20+ years.
ok something needs to fucking kick in the red sox so they can snap their damn losing streak! NOW EVERYBODY NEEDS TO START HITTING TOO!! only people who can hit the damn ball is beltre and youkilis and a little bit of pedroia. ortiz..please just hit the damn ball
The red cap was their home cap. It was red with a navy bill and a navy B. The away cap was all navy with a red B.
actually it was his 2nd game and who knows how well he will do. He has a lot of potential, anyone can see that, but its too early to judge. I think he will have a successful career. But it all depends on his health and who knows if he will he get an injury and pitch bad like Wang this year
It was John Marzano, a former back up catcher. He apparently had a heart attack, but I think the official cause of death was the fall. He died satuday. here's a link:

Marzano was only 45. Apparently this runs in the family, as his father died young from heart problems.
Too bad. While he wasn't a Varitek or Fisk on the field, everyone seems to have loved this guy.
Don’t understand this commercial.
Gagne is a type B free agent. The Sox will get a sandwich pick between the first and 2nd round as compensation. You can get some good talent this way which is why they offered him arbitration. If they hadn't offered that they would not get the pick.
If only he had the numbers to be a type A free agent, then they would have got the Brewers 1st round pick as well.
they ankees just beat the sox. Yay
SUCK+STEROIDS=THE YANKEES GO SOX!!!
@gfscarface13 umm how about A- ROID last year. i guess that means the yankees title was tainted too right??
Great comercial, almost made me cry. Hail to the Red Sox!!!
@Bert9ton Dude, David Ortiz failed his Steroid Test. Both Manny & David were doing Steroids together in boston. Just cause someone is big it doesn’t mean they dont use Steroids LOL. Come on, thats Stupid.
Boston world series are Tainted as much as the 1989 Oakland A’s
