About

You can also find Todd's Greatest Hits (as determined by Todd) at The 'xoxo' of Sports at www.thexoxoofsports.blogspot.com.

Born and bred Red Sox Red. You may notice a hint of this in most things I write. Favorite Sox moments include 2004, 2007 and the Yankees choke of 2004. I said, and the Yankees Choke of 2004. Least favorite moments, Buckner's boot, Boone and Bucky's slaps on the ass, Signing of A-Rod and Teixeira. I like to banter Sox vs Yankees but I do respect the traditions. I love the way Jeter plays the game. I do predict however that like any good business, spending the most doesn't win championships. Team work wins championships..Favorite sports teams are all from Beantown. Twenty three World Championships since 1956 I believe..More than any sports city in America. Favorite life moments, birth of my three kids, marriage to my third wife (oops, oops again)..running the Boston Marathon in 01, running Mtn Washington and sky diving last summer. I want to die young..at a very old age..

I try to write with a conscience...Enjoy the sport but I'm not afraid to grapple with the topics that have an effect on life. My goal is to allow readers to have an opinion while at the same time not swimming away from voicing my own. The Bleacher Report is like the Sox and the Yankees...spirited fun..Never to be taken too seriously.

I am also a friend and fan of Team Hoyt and The Joe Niekro Foundation at www.teamhoyt.com and Jason Grilli at www.wildpitchmarketing.com.

    you have a great blog here! would you like to make some invite posts on my blog?
    When I originally commented I carros clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!
