...make of those four days? A disaster, of course. Game One exposed our frail bullpen anew. Game Two was all about the Yankees starting-pitching problems. Game Three showed how bad we?re playing, even this late in the season: base-running screw-ups, a desultory air permeating Fenway on a sultry day-even though the Yankees were in town. Game Four was this droning ballgame that you just knew we weren?t going to win. Wakefield goes nine, but gives up just enough homers. Stopgap Leiter holds the Sox just enough at bay. Sturtze, Gordon and Mo are able...
...Because of his persuasion, Powers, who had been born in Uxbridge, thirty-six miles from Fenway, was shunned and ridiculed by his colleagues. As Aeschylus knew, exile doesn?t dampen the inner flames, it fans them. Powers walked about Manhattan subsisting on his unreasonable dreams of hope, becoming leaner but prouder and more defiant. Such people are dangerous, and by 1965 Powers was poised to commit a desperate...
...crowd back at the turn of the last century. Sox management unearthed the tune, and the story behind it, a year or two ago, and Dr. Charles-that?s Charles Steinberg, the magician of community relations for the Henry/Lucchino gang, the wizard behind the wonderful ring-presentation festivities at Fenway?s Opening Day-arranged for the Boston band Dropkick Murphys to make a new recording.

The Fenway ?bleacher bums? are: A) now attending Boston College hockey games B) credited with inventing the ?wine cooler? C) opposed to baseball?s drug rules D) seldom invited to Mark Clear?s house. The American League hitter most...
...Berry was right when he declared that, among the BLOHARDS, all that matters is loving the Sox. Breeding, position, intelligence, wealth-these things don?t mean much when you?re wearing a baseball cap. This salient fact was acted out, in a way, as the bus parked behind Fenway, and the unsteady BLOHARDS piled out and headed gleefully for the window to pick up tickets that had been left for them by Arthur Moscato, the estimable ticket director, and Dick Bresciani, the cherished media-relations chief. There were, presumably, some pretty bright and pretty successful people in this ragtag, slightly...
