i would say you are passionate hockey,and i do not believe you represent New England in general, for sure. Today's Boston Globe <<http://www.boston.com/globe/>> one mere tidbit <Across New England, a sense of loss, and fond memories
By Brian MacQuarrie and Raphael Lewis, Globe Staff, Globe Correspondent, 7/6/2002
Baseball lost a legend yesterday, but the baseball capital of New England lost much more.
From the Berkshires to Brighton, from New Hampshire to Fenway Park, the region's baseball fans mourned the death of Ted Williams, Boston's towering, talented, and occasionally tempestuous link to the sport's golden era.
Although the Red Sox's greatest player endured a long, debilitating decline in health, the loss of what many baseball historians regard as the game's best pure hitter still seemed to jolt New Englanders.>>
Also see where they highlight that Ted raised millions of dollars for the Jimmy Fund. |
