I see we're already running out of Red Sox storylines when
you're resorting to this crap...
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Picked-up pieces from 10 days of grueling investigative reporting in the Fort . . .
Like Shank's occasional one mile fitness run, a headline / sub-hed in search of proof.
■ Red Sox-Yankees is going to be very good this year.
The Sox will play the Yanks at Fenway South Saturday in their major league spring training opener. It starts a renewal of hostilities that will take the ancient rivals to London and back this season.
In 2004, when the Yankees came to Fort Myers for the first time after the Grady Little/Aaron Boone classic, 250 media members covered the meaningless exhibition. Then-Sox manager Terry Francona remembers seeing fans lined up on the sidewalks at 5:30 a.m. for a 1 p.m. start. A-Rod and Derek Jeter both made the 2½-hour bus trip.
It's not exactly the mishmash of stuff normally seen in a obvious mail-in column; worth reading, and I'm not just saying that because I have a few beers in me while I'm writing this...
