Redsox Players Sux

[The Dad Fisherman]

Don't assume Dewey and Lynn and other former players weren't there, just because the article didn't mention them, and you don't know if they went to the wake.....and players that live out of town dould have sent respects to the family....article doesn't say

The 40 current players are the issue.....they were in town for the funeral but couldn't be bothered...and you know they missed the wake because they were in NY.....again No Class

Did they know Pesky? If not, I have no problem w/it. If they had met him, I agree w/you. I just don't know how much he has been around for the last few years.

I'd also say attending the funeral isn't the line in the sand. If the players called or wrote heart felt notes to the family - that would be more meaningfull than showing up and walking through a line a wake and spending 10 min. there.

Pesky was as close as one could be to being a patron Saint of baseball. He spent his life helping players hone their skills until MLB decided that the Sox had one too many coaches. The Sox were blessed to have had him. I can't wait until the present roster of D-bags and low lifes are gone fron this team. They've all added a horrific * to their personal legacies. And they've worked hard for it. I'm done with them.
