OMG! Two Sox offseason posts in a week! Actually, today's could have been two by itself, but I decided to combine. I mentioned the presence of a Sox player in this year's World Series: Ramon Ramirez. He made an appearance in Game 1 in relief. Didn't show much other than a mid-90's heater and one K in his brief appearance--very hittable otherwise, but the Giants won.
The other item is the fact that before yesterday's Game 2, the annual awarding of the Roberto Clemente Award was made. This goes to the MLB player making the most significant contribution off the field to some charitable endeavor. Presented by Clemente's widow, it is an honor because it recognizes the recipient's charitable work and also ties it to the well known such activities by the late Clemente, who died in a plane crash trying to get aid to victims of an earthquake in Nicaragua. This year's winner: Wakefield! Way to go, Wake!
