What's in a Name?
April 4, 2006
I have mentioned before the suprising number of Red Sox players, past and present, who have first or last names that are also the names of Massachusetts cities and towns. So this year the Sox added Mike Lowell (hometown of Jack Kerouac) and Josh Beckett (an acceptable (in my book) spelling variant of Becket, MA, home of Jacob’s Pillow). And we already had Tim Wakefield, of course. Too early to say of course, but some of the Red Sox minor league players include Matthew Hancock and Roger Lincoln.

Hi Adam,
Nice to see you and thanks for your comment. You have a few of my favorite players now in Lowe, Mueller, and Nomar. Here's to Nomar having a healthy season.

The Dodgers are looking much improved from the end of last season, but this could be another tough one for them.
You should come and argue some more on my site sometime.

That's funny and interesting. I'm a Dodgers fan myself.
I like the new look of your site, Bill. I'll see you around.
