For you true redsox fans...

[~K~]

In recognition of the world series win I decided to take a short ride and take a picture for the board. I told Sully about this a while ago and told him one of these days I'd send him a picture. The story goes like this...

Buried 10 minutes from my house was a man by the name of George "Duffy" Lewis. George died pennyless and was basically buried in a paupers grave. A few years ago the story got out and old George turned out to be a center fielder for the Boston Redsox "Championchip" teams of 1912,1915 and 1916. When the Redsox heard of this they decided to Give George his proper tribute and they bought him a headstone as well as had a ceremony for him with several of the Redsox in attendance ... RIP George..

BTW, did you guys see the story about Pedro getting beaned in the head during the parade? [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] There must've been a Yankee fan in Boston yesterday. One with a good and accurate arm. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Cool Kev. Thanks for posting that.

Sheddermon rumor has it that it was Don Zimmer.

Nah. They'll probably have the guy on the receiving end of that pitch instead. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
