“Red Smith used to say he loved ‘the music of the game,’ ” the late Ned Martin, the voice of the Sox for 32 seasons, once reflected. “What a great line. There is a music to it! There’s an orderliness to it as well. Yet you can still see something in almost every game that you’ve never seen before. That’s the beauty of baseball; it’s never predictable, even though it never changes.”
