Red Sox in Texas! Love it. Just wanted to share part of an email from my dad:
"I forgot...its opening day...went to two opening days 1969 and 1970...in one of them Sox beat Yankees 8-3...Yaz homered, Hawk Harrelson homered and the real Boomer George Scott (not Wells) had one...college buddies...no shirts in the right field bleachers and plenty of beverage...it was special...things were a little fuzzy the next AM but hey it was worth it...never thought that would be the last opening day I attended...when you are 19 you figure it will be an every year event!
Lots of new players...lots of question marks...on paper looks like a slightly better team...defensively up the middle and with more speed...especially the pitching...new look Red Sox...but Yankees have the bats and will score a lot of runs...I still think it comes down to Red Sox-Yankees in the division...Toronto has improved but still not good enough...whether or not the second place team record will be good enough to win the wild card is another story...we'll see if Theo is a genius or something else...the new chant will be GO COCO CRISPY! Sounds like a cereal I (we) used to eat..."
