About

Red Sox Fan since 1975. Was a big Yaz fan as a kid.
Cried twice in my life when the Sox lost in 1975 & 1978.

Feel liberated for life with the 2004 WS championship.
2007 was an added bonus.
Just wish the teams in the 1970's and 80's could have enjoyed a championship too.

Rice deserves to be in the Hall-of-Fame over these damn slappy hitters like Carew, Brett, Molitor, Yount and Ozzie Smith. I don't remember a manager ever having 4 outfielders for any of them.

Dwight Evans also deserved some Hall-Of Fame love. Tied for most Gold Gloves as an outfielder plus over 380 home runs.

    Hey John,

    There was a touching moment in the Mariners game last night, made possible by the best pitcher I've ever gotten to watch - Randy Johnson. Watching history unfold inspired to me take a look at his incredible career and count down his five best moments, in my eyes. If you get a chance, take a look at it, I'd appreciate it. Thanks a lot.

    John, I finally wrote an article though! Nothing like a trip to spring training to get you excited about the baseball season, not to mention cure some writer's block. If you get a chance, give this a read, if not, no worries.

    Hey John,

    with a busy off season for the Yankees and Red Sox alike, you may find yourself wondering what acquisition was the most important. Here's the answer to that question.

    John-

    How are you, my name is Aaron Torres, and I'm a member of he Bleacher Report here. I saw you were a Red Sox fan, and I wanted to let you know, that in the last few days I just got an exclusive interview with author John Frascella who is releasing a book called "Theo-logy: How A Boy Wonder Took the Red Sox to the Promised Land."

    Anyways, the book is obviously about Theo Epstein and his rise as Red Sox GM, and is set to be released April 1. However, if you want to hear about the book before hand, please check out my website www.aarontorres-sports.com where the interview can be heard. Unfortunately I cannot post it on Bleacher Report because it is an audio file.

    Let me know what you think, leave me a comment either on the website or here. Also if you have any questions please post them or send me an e-mail at ATorres00@gmail.com, as I am doing a follow-up interview with Mr. Frascella with fan questions. Thanks!

    Good work, just changed a few minor things. Hopefully Oden turns out okay.

    For some reason, I can't submit feedback on your article. So I posted it here.
