Ted Williams, James Wood, and some PA/P history

Every time I attend a Major League Baseball game with someone eclipsing my forty-and-a-half years, a similar scene plays out: the person will look up at the Target Field scoreboard—where batting averages are listed—and shake their head and/or let out some sort of derogatory phlegmatic noise. Because of ever-increasing pitcher velocities and more reliance on […]

When the team was scuffling at the bottom of the AL East and manager Alex Cora was fired for a dismal start, the promotion became an easy joke: The children of New England were hungry. So hungry. Offensive struggles and one-run losses had turned them into the wee ragamuffins of Oliver Twist . But around the end of June, after dropping two...
