The Can-Am Worcester Tornadoes have offered Manny Ramirez a contract for two years at $24,000. With Worcester as my birth city and a city I still frequent multiple times a week, it would be great if he signed. The Tornadoes have had former Red Sox prospects play for...

It was a rainy, cloudy ceremony to honor Johnny Pesky and his lifetime contributions to the Red Sox. Just as the sky got misty, so did Pesky and most of the crowd. Here are some photos from the ceremony… Nomar Garciaparra paid homage to Johnny Pesky, “his...
