Ted ZanidakisI'm a long-time Yankee fan (I grew up 2 blocks away from Phil Rizzuto in Hillside, NJ).
But, like you, (conversely) I have never hated the Red Sox. I was an avid Ted Williams
fan as a kid. I saw him hit HR's into the upper RF stands at the Stadium and I was happy
for him. I was fortunate to see him, Joe DiMaggio, Stan Musial and Jackie Robinson play.
Obviously, I am now an avid Derek Jeter fan. But, I'm also an avid Nomar Garciaparra fan.
Both these guys play the game like the players I remember from my youth. I followed
Nomar's career from when he played AA for the Trenton team.
Your Red Sox made a big mistake when they did not hold on to Nomar. This season I am
rooting for the Dodgers to win in the NL....so Nomar finally gets to play in the World Series.
