Uecker's statue will be unveiled on August 31st.

RIP MEL PARNELL

Legendary Red Sox hurler Mel Parnell has died.
The left-hander spent his entire 10-year career with Boston and, to this day, still ranks 4th in club victories behind Cy Young(192), Roger Clemens(192) and Tim Wakefield(188). Parnell had a career 123-75 record.
Parnell enjoyed his best season in 1949, when he went 25-7, leading the American League in victories, ERA(2.77), complete games(27) and innings(295.1). He was the starting pitcher in the 1949 All-Star Game.
He pitched a no-hitter on July 14, 1956 against the Chicago White Sox at Fenway.
Mel Parnell passed away March 20th at his home in New Orleans.
He was 89 years old.

CABRERA BLOODIED...LESTER STARTING...AMANDA POSING

A bad thing happened today.
In a game between the Phillies and the Tigers, Phillies' outfielder Hunter Pence smoked a bad-ass, one-hopper that caught Miguel Cabrera right in the face!
Cabrera was wearing shades and the ball hit him near the right eye.
He was taken to the hospital for stitches and X-rays.




Newly appointed Red Sox skipper Bobby Valentine announced, today, that Jon Lester would be Boston's Opening Day starter against Justin Verlander and the Tigers on April 5th in Detroit.



And - I've been remiss in getting around to this - here's Hot Baseball Wife Hall of Famer Amanda McCarthy, and hubby Brandon, on the cover of ESPN the Magazine...

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!

Rihanna's Ass Pimps For Armani



If I had the opportunity to meet anyone who has ever played the game of baseball, I'd have ONLY two choices - the first would be Ted Williams...the second - Sandy Koufax.
Mr. Koufax paid a visit to the New York Mets spring training facility in Port St. Lucie recently. Koufax is a lifelong friend of Mets' owner Fred Wilpon and can't go to Dodgertown since the Boys of Summer moved to Arizona.
Man, I'd LOVE to shake hands with Sandy Koufax...

SAY IT AIN'T SO...

Geez, Louise, WTF is happening to my Red Sox?
First, Heidi Watney takes off for Cali and the LA Lakers.
Then, Tim Wakefield retires his knuckleball.
Then, Bobby Valentine bans alcohol in the clubhouse!
Now, Jason Varitek has decided to retire!!
V-Tek is expected to hold a press conference on Thursday at Boston's spring training camp in Fort Myers, Florida.
Varitek spent his entire 15-year career with Boston.
He caught 4 no-hitters, made 3 All-Star teams won 2 World Series titles.
He caught no-hitters from Hideo Nomo(2001), Derek Lowe(2002), Clay Buchholz(2007) and Jon Lester(2008).
He broke Carlton Fisk's record for most games caught in a Red Sox uniform and finished with 1,488 games behind the plate. He hangs up the mask with a career average of .256, 193 home runs and 757 RBIs.
Since 1923, the list of Red Sox captains reads like this: Jimmie Fox, Carl Yastrzemski, Jim Rice and Jason Varitek. Pretty illustrious company!
