Nomar returns.

Nomar makes his return to Fenway, for the first time…

I had moved to Florida, but was visiting New Hampshire, and was doing so for well over a month. Nomar was breaking out, and I was watching, diligently, each and every day. If I was busy, and couldn’t watch the game, then I’d wait for the evening news. If not the news, I would check the paper. But mostly I would just watch it, and wait until Nomar came up, again, each and every time.

He was the next best thing. Sliced bread was the greatest thing since Nomar, well before it was the greatest thing since Matt Wieters. And boom! I was again where my heart wanted me to be. I was a Red Sox fan.

Kevin Youkilis is the real deal.

Sure, the numbers show that Youkilis has seen a rather large number of pitches per AB throughout his career. But to truly appreciate something like this, it must be seen. And to watch him battle, AB after AB, it is really incredible. How someone can have the motivation to battle as hard in a 7-1 game, as he does in a 3-2 game is beyond me.
Another side of the intangible argument, the fact that Youkilis will throw his body all over the diamond to get done what needs to get done. Whether it is a slide, a dive, a jump, whatever. He will do everything he can do to make the play, whether it’s made or not. And yes, that is an admirable trait.
