The curse of the Bambino is something that most Chowds believed in last season. After Game 7 of the ALCS all Chowds believe that there is a curse. Manager Grady Little left ace Pedro Martinez in a few batters too long, the Yanks then came back and now everyone believes it was The Babe himself that pushed the ball off of Aaron Boone’s bat in the bottom of the 10th inning.
In the off-season the Sox and Yanks both entered the “Alex Rodriguez Sweepstakes” and the Yanks came out the victor. GM Theo Epstein moved on to get one of the best pitchers in the game. Epstein wrestled former CY Young winner Curt Schilling away from the desert for a grocery list of players. He also signed short stop Pokey Reese, second baseman Mark Belhorn and closer Keith Foulke. The team also fired Grady Little and brought in hard nosed Terry Francona to lead the Sox.
The Red Sox featured a starting lineup last season that all hit double digit home runs. The team is lead by centerfielder Johnny Damon, designated hitter David Ortiz, left fielder Manny Ramirez, utility guy Kevin Millar, catcher Jason Varitek and Nomar Garciaparra when healthy.
Schilling joins Pedro Martinez, Derek Lowe, Tim Wakefield, and Bronson Arroyo in the one of, if not the, premiere staff in the majors. Foulke will be the main man in a bullpen that showcases Alan Embree, and Scott Williamson.
Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox and is baseball’s oldest stadium. Fenway has been standing in the heart of Boston since 1912. Fenway features the only hand operated scoreboard in the majors, located at the bottom of the Green Monster. In the 2003 season the team added 280 seats a top the Green Monster, giving fans an exciting view of the field.
