Back before my "salt & pepper" days I was told that I looked like Bill Weld when he was Governor. True story: A local bar had been going through some horrendous times with the city zoning board. The bar wanted to expand to the building next door so that they could be able to serve food and increase their capacity.
I was working in downtown Boston, so I was able to make it to one of these zoning board screw-job meetings. (if you've ever dealt with the zoning board, you probably experienced the same stupidity)
At the time, the head of the zoning board was Mickey Roache, ex-police commissioner.
As I walk into the meeting room (dressed in my work suit & tie) ALL head turned to me and the room fell dead silent! It took them a few moments to realize I wasn't HIM, but I got a kick out of it.

I've had people at the old downtown Woolworth's, a subway train and even in the bleachers at Fenway all say the same thing.
To this day I am known at this bar (by the owners and some bands that play there) as "The Governor".

Not sure whether that's more Mattingly, or more Boggs.

You guys decide

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
