About me

1986 World Series

It all started when I was 6.

That's when I got my first baseball glove. I only remember how old I was at the time because I watched the 1986 World Series on TV with my glove on my left hand

The glove had Wade Boggs' signature burned into the palm. I naturally adopted him as my favorite player, and the Red Sox as my favorite team. .

My first year as a Red Sox fan didn't end very well.

We didn't have cable when I was a kid, and there wasn't much baseball coverage on TV in Central Virginia. In a way, that was a blessing. The players were so much greater in my mind, and there was something magical about going through the box scores in the morning and assembling the games inning by inning. It was like solving a crossword puzzle without having to know stuff.

I started redsoxnews.net in December of 2007 as an outlet for my lifelong Red Sox obsession. Like all good fans, I have a tendency to take things too seriously, and this lets me obsess under the guise of productivity.
