About Jeffrey »

Red Sox fan since May, 1967, when I attended my first game against the Minnesota Twins. Camped out at Fenway Park on seventeen occasions for tickets... the longest such adventure was in October, 1986, when I camped parkside for 5 1/2 days for World Series tickets (got tickets to all three games!). I started blogging about my beloved Red Sox in 2002... started my website (www.sox1fan.com) in the summer of 2004. Just recently, sox1fan.com enjoyed it's 10 millionth hit. I was invited to be one of the 'regular guys' in the Boston edition of last year's "Baseball As America" exhibit.

    Sean Kennedy commented on Looking Forward to the Holidays in Boston, Not a Holliday or a Halladay!

    The Red Sox need another quality starter; they cannot count on Wakefield making 30 starts next year. Pitching is a more immediate need than offense. The...

    I don't necessarily agree with your premise. Last spring David Ortiz said the Sox needed to add a bat, and throughout the summer most pundits were...

    You acknowledge many think the Sox need to add 2 bats (Bay + 1, or 2 new ones), and then say you feel Martinez filled that...
