...Boston I'll still check the wire services' one inch story about the Phils before I'll even glance at a Sox score. At Fenway one eye is always fixed on the National League scoreboard. The attachment is probably a part of growing up. For instance, when you are younger you don't figure that the Phils are just a bunch of pros with no particular allegiance to their home town. For all I knew the whole team was born and raised in Philly--just a bunch of all-stars plucked from great Center City high schools. (I must admit...
