Nine of nine, rarity score of 14, Red Sox (and Red Sox caps) only.

Apologies to Naoyuki Uwasawa, Junichi Tazawa, and Masataka Yoshida, who are also in Sox caps.

My memory immediately takes me to Dave Righetti no hitter vs Sox after which Mangione played this to Righetti who was awkwardly looking on...❤️⚾

Happy Heavenly Birthday to Bob Veale, who passed away at the age of 89 this past January. The Pirates released Veale in 1972 after 11 years with the team and the Sox signed him in September. He played in parts of 3 seasons with the Sox and was 4-4, with a 3.45 ERA and 15 Saves.

OTD in 2004, one of the greatest nights of my life as the Red Sox won the World Series. I laughed, I cried, hug my dad, called my gram & woke up her to tell her. It was beautiful. The whole playoffs had been such a wild journey through the Thunderdome and when it was over, it was glorious.

Proud to say this one, over Bob Hohler’s wonderful game story after the Red Sox clinched a *very* long-awaited World Series 21 years ago today, was mine. Also, it’s crazy that that World Series is now old enough to drink.

21 years ago today the great Joe Castiglione made this call. “Swing and a ground ball, stabbed by Foulke. He has it, he underhands to 1st and the Boston Red Sox are World Champions. For the 1st time in 86 years, the Red Sox have won Baseball‘s World Championship. Can you believe it?”

Happy 54th birthday to the great Pedro Martinez. Pedro enjoyed an 18 year HOF career and it all started with the Dodgers in 1992. In all, he won 3 CY Awards, earned 5 ERA titles, was an 8-time AS, and won a WS ring with the Red Sox in 2004. ¡Feliz cumpleaños, Pedro!

On this day in 1889, “Smoky Joe” Wood was born in Kansas City, MO. Though a broken thumb caused an early end to his pitching career, in the early 1910s, there was nobody better than him on the mound. Here’s my painting of him with Boston in 1909, based on the photography of Carl Horner. He’s shown wearing the Red Sox away grays, complete with a laced-up front and high collar.
