54 minutes ago54 min I like TA. He played hard on a team where few did. Somewhat surprised, but glad to celebrate a Sox All Star position player of which there have been very few in my lifetime.

They have a lot of statues, they are awesome (i mean that). They have the decals on the walls - they seem half-assed. I don't want a yankees museum but I would like it be a bigger deal to have your jersey retiredThey have these on the bridge across 35th St from the ramps/gift shop/bar to the stadium. Yeah, that's pretty cool to see. The Brewers are another team who have successfully done this by creating a "walk of fame/wall of honor". https://www.mlb.com/news/brewers-walk-of-fame-and-wall-of-honor
12 minutes ago12 min I dont mind this at all. I was a big fan of TA and hate how his time ended. Gasp, a professional athlete, is not a role model. While I do not agree with his personal decisions and by no means respect what he did to his wife and family, I wonder how many of us would be ok with having our dirty laundry being aired with the entire world. Many of the people trashing him, have the same or a worse moral compass. To each their own. I will be in NY for work, if not I'd go to the game.

I mean, he was a DOG from all accounts. I don't really rate infidelity that high on the list of sins, but dude was pushing the limits of what any married man can get away with, famous athlete or not.

I spoke with Ray after that and he was very aware of that time gap. I agree with most. Much too soon. We're trying to move past that era. I honestly see people at the ballpark with Kopech or Moncada jerseys and I get irrationally angry lol. I can name a lot of people from this organization that deserve a night ahead of his. They simply saw the sellout from the Ozzie game and saw another chance for some more green, thats all this is.
