About Eddie »

Born in Natick, Mass and raised in various towns in central Massachusetts. An avid sports fan and athlete - competing at both high school and collegiate levels. Rabid Boston sports fan. Enjoying the current championship run of Boston sports teams (6 in 9 years) with a strong recollection of growing up with very few such positive memories (save the early 80's Celtics).

1993 West Point graduate and 14 years as an Army Officer. Served combat tours in Afghanistan 2002-03 and Iraq 2005-06 before leaving the Army to begin a second career as a Emergency Medicine Physician.

Looking for a good laugh?

NY Yankee pitcher Joba Chamberlain is a ridiculous, clown pig who people laugh at!

Now sit back, relax, and mock this miserable lump of human pork as you watch my slideshow:

Eddie,

How do you feel about Fenway Park? Should it be replaced? Should the Red Sox continue to call it home? I'd love to know what you think.
