A hum drum Thursday night in May against the Rockies. I would have thought this 5-time batting champ would have been worthy of a weekend event.
Then why not just do a Jack Brohamer bobblehead night?I think they schedule these for nights where they are less likely to sell out. Hence a weeknight against a ho-hum Rockies team.
It's Papi's year Dove they don't give a crap about Wade Boggs.
The guy was a great hitter but brought a lot of off the field baggage to the team. hell he tried to sell his Hall of fame hat to Tampa bay. He's a whack job. Throw in the fact he won a WS ring in NY and was still wearing it last night.
Yeah, like I said most Sox fans don't really care much about his number...there's a disconnect there between him and the fans as the picture above shows.
The Yankees gave a 35 year old a 3 year deal even though he was coming off his worst season, was not adjusting to his contact lenses and had a bad back.
If he wasn't an ass off the field maybe the Sox would have shown him some loyalty but honestly I can't blame the Sox organization with their decision making at the time.
