...Poor Don Zimmer. No one has ever accused the pleasantly, permanently befuddled Bosox manager of knowing much about ornithology, but over the past two weeks he's watched his boys do a frighteningly accurate impression of a dying turkey. In fact, almost all the teams in American League have been giving the Sox the bird of late, as Zim has presided over a choke of near spectacular proportions. The locals, who were once playing so high they were reportedly considered as extras in Star Wars II, now look much more reminiscent of The Bad News Bears--that monstrous 10-game...

The lights from downtown Boston flickered off past right field in the glare of ballpark floodlights, the green monster stood impassive...
Bobby, frozen in his follow-up, watched the scene get madder and madder, with believing awe. His teammates swarmed him, they banged him and they laughed insanely: Fisk, Burleson, Scott, Yastrzemski, Rice...Lee and Zimmer hugged each other in ecstasy, 14-year-old girls kissing Bobby wetly, yelping fans tried to do everything but get inside of his skin...
