Mo Vaughn was my first favorite Red Sox player. Then Nomar and Varitek. Then Dustin Pedroia. And, man, I never tire of hearing stories about him. Incredible aura. What a freaking player. Pure Red Sox legend in every way.

Dustin Pedroia called Alex Cora last week. Pedroia's 3 boys had the weekend off from sports, so they decided to come watch Red Sox-Royals.
"He wants to see the Red Sox. But they wanted to meet Bobby Witt too."
Pedroia was Witt's favorite player growing up.

Awesome time with Jay Williams last night on Big Monday, and a great game in sold-out Boulder.
I will bring my turtleneck next time and go by my real first name.

Learned hockey watching the Bruins.
And in particular games called by Jack Edwards from this booth.
Saturday was neat, keeping the great Sean McDonough’s seat warm, and calling a B’s game for the first time.

At the Australian Open, this is the walk players take onto famous Rod Laver Arena.
Greeted by past champions. Bang a left, and you walk out to a packed house of 15,000.
