Fenway Flashback: Send the Man to San Fran, Closer to Japan

July 2, 2007

The All-Star voting results were announced and FIVE Sox were celebrated -- Ortiz, Ramirez, Beckett, Lowell, and Papelbon. Furthermore, Hideki Okajima was named to an online ballot and Red Sox Nation was called to action to vote.
all the hot pitchers either come from or end up in texas

The game gave Gabbard his second win and Jacoby a few more firsts -- he got his first outfield hit, his first walk, his first stolen base, and his first time crossing homeplate. Here's a bunch of those firsts in one clip!


In other news, a fan's sign got Don wondering how many games Jerry had attended. Remy admitted that he took the announcing job in 1988. Holy heck -- that's 20 years! At 150 games a year, that 3,000 games! And that's just announcing -- not playing or coaching. I think it's fair to say that Jerry Remy knows baseball! A new camera up in the announcing booth, brought Jerry and Don's bickering to a new level...
