Not sure how many of you here have been following along since the blog began back in Spring Training.
If you have, and you remember the beautiful young woman who visited us from Dana Farber, you’ll remember I posted a picture of her and I.

Please don’t post links to ‘opinions’ or ‘facts’ you’ve read about someone online, just post opinions without F bombs and we can discuss.
If you [...]
