He is at fenway right now. Home opener. Red Sox vs Yankees. World Series banner was unfurled. Right now, the Red Sox are getting their world series rings.
In front of the Yankees.
Paul gets to watch. RIGHT THERE.

In practice, players who have switched teams usually aren't at the ring ceremony, and have their ring sent to the new team. Derek Lowe is an exception, not the rule.
When the Marlins won and were then broken apart the next year, their...manager? Someone hand delivered the rings to each player at their homes or new team. Now that's class.

Perhaps, The Tick, but thre were quite a few ex-Red Sox players there, and Pedro had made some sort of a stink about this.

As he is wont to do. I'm sure Boston fans just wish he was around to throw that complete game two hitter for THEM. Posts: 5422 | Registered: Dec 2001

Only the ones that sell out, like Pedro. Or that, while on the team, had cut apart team unity, like Nomar.
Lowe and Roberts got VERY warm welcomes from the crowd. They're still heroes to Sox fans.
Tom Gordon, used to play for the Sox, now plays for the Yankees? Boos, boos, boos. 'Cause he's a traitor. Posts: 14745 | Registered: Dec 1999

Oh, I know, there's a code. Sometimes, though, it's just leaving for a better salary that does it. Or being a big baby.(Pedro) Or a pompous a**(Roger)
Poor Nomah, though, he was revered for years.

My husband had tickets to last Tuesday's game in NY. He was going to take our son. I said he shouldn;t miss another day of school, so he had someone who was going to buy the tickets from him. Who didn't end up buying them. So we have two unused tickets, and it is killing us, and I feel motherly guilt.

Especially since he had missed Monday because we went out to Ithaca to see music. He was basically OK with missing the game, but when the tickets went unused, that hurt us all.

Oh so THAT's where Flash ended up. He did a stint here in Chicago, right after King released The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. And the guy was a jerk to me and wouldn't sign it. Posts: 4515 | Registered: Jul 2004
