The rotation would set up so that Tim Wakefield, the 10-year vet-longest tenure on the team-would pitch the home opener at the Fens, on the mid-April day when the Sox would receive their rings.

Their friendship forms the emotional center of the series, as Marvin gains increasing respect for Herbert, who matures from a 90-lb duckling to self-confident, if somewhat inept, adventurer. This relationship feels genuinely warm, and keeps the series from being just a simple parody, even when some of the gags are as funny as when Herbert and Marvin infiltrate the Hooded Ones' lair disguised as interior decorators, complete with foppish 18th century outfits...
