Most Memorable Game Attended
July 23, 2002 at Fenway Park. First game of a double-headers against the Rays. Nomar Garciaparra (on his birthday) hit three home runs including a grand slam and the Sox won 22-4.
-
Most Unbreakable Sports Record
Freakishly coincidental: Johnny Vander Meer's two consecutive no-hitters. More indicative of the times: 511 wins by Cy Young. Overall: .440 BA by Hugh Duffy

Ruth or Mays?
Willie Mays. Say Hey Kid.
-
Unitas or Montana?

Jordan was the best ever, but Russell won almost twice the championships and just as many MVPs.

I'm from NE, how do I not go with Bobby? (But Gretzky was better...)

Sorry, I really have no idea whose these are, assuming of course that they are individuals.

Hey, I wrote a piece on whether or not fans are right to keep booing Derek Jeter.
I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Chris,
The Red Sox have been miserable lately. Miserable. I'm already looking ahead to preview how Theo & Co. can fix up the team a little bit with this winter's free agent crop. As always I'd appreciate your feedback.

Chris,
With the news of the past year that A Rod and Big Papi are on steroids, I've finally decided that enough is enough on the topic of the drugs. I have never seen a bigger double standard than the hero worship of the baseball greats from the 50's, 60's, and 70's and the vilification of the baseball greats from the 90's and today. As always, feedback is appreciated.

Hey Chris,
The Red Sox have been miserly lately. The pitching has been bad, but the offense has been worse. Theo needs to do something by 4 o'clock tomorrow. As always, feedback is appreciated.

Chris,
As good as the Red Sox pitching has been, Smoltz, Penny, and Matsuzaka have combined to be one gigantic headache. Check it out, and as always feedback is appreciated.

Hey Chris,
Coming back from the All Star Game, the Red Sox look ready to make a run at another world series. Currently on track for 99 wins, they definitely have a good shot. My review on the first half (and as always feedback is appreciated!):

Chris,
With Joe Maddon's annunciation that Carlos Pena will replace Dustin Pedroia on the All-Star roster, it's really starting to get out of hand. Bud Selig needs to change something about the All-Star Game. As always, feedback is appreciated.

Chris,
Tim Wakefield has been a Fenway fixture for so long, and now he's getting close to owning the records for the most wins, starts, appearances, and innings pitched in Red Sox history, putting his name up there with all-time greats Roger Clemens and Cy Young. As always, I'd love your feedback.

Chris,
As June winds down, how do the six division leaders among MLB shape up? Could any of them stand to improve? As always I'd love your feedback.
