I've been asked to start the first regular season game thread in honor of our deceased friend Mike Grace.
I wish that I could say something profound. Obviously I miss him very much. We all do.
Whether you believe in the afterlife or not, I am confided that if such a realm exists, Mike is up there wearing a Sox tee shirt and cap, brimming with optimism and hope for our team as the new season starts.
I pity any Yankee fans in Heaven. They will get no rest!!!!
Here's to a genuinely wonderful person and possibly the most chill dude I have met.
GO SOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
