Happy Valentine's Day
In honor of Valentine's Day - and to fill a void until Spring Training starts - the Boston Dirt Dogs site has been asking fans to vote on the All-Beloved Team. It's a list of the favorites since 1967. Here are their choices:
Catcher: Jason Varitek
1B: Mo Vaughn
2B: Jerry Remy
SS: Nomar Garciaparra
3B: Bill Mueller
DH: David Ortiz
LF: Carl Yastrzemski
CF: Fred Lynn
RF: Dwight Evans
Bull Pen: Derek Lowe and Rich Garces
Unsung Hero: Dave Roberts and The Steal
Pitching Rotation: Pedro Martinez; Roger Clemens; Tim Wakefield; Curt Schilling
Manager: Terry Francona
I voted every day, and boy there were some tough choices to make. I love Tek - but how could I not choose Carlton Fisk? There are other sentimental favs from my youth, like Rico Petrocelli, Wade Boggs, Bernie Carbo, George Boomer Scott, Bill Spaceman Lee, El Tiante... 3rd base? I really miss Billy Mueller, but hasn't Mike Lowell been awesome?? Unsung here? Bernie Carbo and Dwight Evans in '75, Dave Henderson in '86??
Their new poll is all-time Beloved player. Why even vote?! We know it's Big Papi!!
Or maybe Johnny -- aw, it's a tie!
