A New Day

The new Fort Myers' baseball park had it's official Opening Day yesterday, and Shank is there to cover it. I was expecting Shank to completely rip Josh Beckett a new one in this column, but the appearance of many former Red Sox players at the Opening Day festivities nixed that angle.

We'll just have to settle for a single "chicken and beer" mention (and incredibly, a comparison of the Sox 2011 collapse to the fall of Saigon) and know it will probably be used every time Shank writes about Curt Schilling Manny Ramirez Josh Beckett.
