Did Kerry make a fool of himself trying to prove he is a BOSOX fan? (BOSOX, not botox)

Thanks for the info. It is still disingenuous, just like Hillary being a Yank fan when she never attended a game.

Yep. The more recent thing, which just happened this week, was his "Manny Ortez" remark. We should hammer him on that, because it's timelier, and even more ridiculous.

Don't they all look alike? :)

You will love this from a blog I found ---

======================================================

John Kerry's favorite Red Sox player "Manny Ortez" had quite a game for himself in last night's Major League All-Star Game.

"Manny Ortez" went 2 for 3 (two home runs) with 3 runs scored, four RBIs and two walks.

He played left field and first base.

Even more impressive, he pinch hit for himself in the fourth inning.

Only in the baseball universe according to John Kerry.

Hysterical!

Poor Kerry want to be "one of the guys" so badly.

Thanks for that post; it's very funny. Check out bostondirtdogs.com for a laugh as well -- scroll down and look for the Curt Schilling/Manny Ramirez photo, with the caption under it.

Anyhow, I'm wondering why Hannity is mentioning this Kerry comment about Yost. I re-read the Peter Gammons column, and it appears that he wrote this in 2000; I wonder why it's getting publicity just now!

Now you've got me all teary with that picture. The Yaz days were some of the best days of my life.

Well, here are a couple more photos to help you reminisce. Enjoy!

Neglected to mention that in those years we took them to Cooperstown,the 2 girls were bored to death but the boys and Dad loved it.

Happy times!!!!

It's like saying "I've been a Sox fan ever since Dante Bichette was around."
