John Henry hated Grady Little.

[URL='http://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/7005442/mlb-how-john-henry-built-sports-empire-espn-magazine']As for Little, well, he did get the Sox to the postseason in 2003. But then came Game 7 of the ALCS in Yankee Stadium, when he sent Pedro Martinez out to pitch one more inning, the eighth, with the Red Sox up 5-2. [B]As calm and peaceful as Henry is, he can get angry. "Can we fire him right now?" [/B]he asked Lucchino. The rest, including Little, was history.[/URL]

[/B]``Henry had taken to joking that if the Red Sox did not win the World Series and he was tapped to star in one of the iconic `I'm going to Disney World,' commercials, he would instead announce to the world,[B] `I'm going to fire Grady Little.'[/B]  [/URL]
