Mea culpa

Well, it appears there have been more auspicious blogging debuts.

And that I should stick to basketball, no matter the baseball euphoria of the moment.

As gentle reader Scott Patterson, likely the first of many, points out,

The Red Sox haven't lost a World Series game in 89 years?  Seems to me they lost four in 1986, four more in 1975, four more in 1967

For a guy whose first serious World Series memory is Jim Lonborg losing in '67, and then blowing out his knee that winter; and for a guy who thought Bernie Carbo never got nearly the respect he deserved for that '75 Game 6 homer, that's inexcusable.

I also remember Bill Lee serving up the lob (beach) ball to Tony Perez in '75. I later became a Red Sox hater after the Jays inception, but I was a Red Sox fan for that World Series - mostly because I didn't want the Reds to win, but how do you not like a Luis Tiant or a Bill Lee?

Doug Smith's Sports Blog


  • Doug Smith has been a sportswriter for more than 30 years, a journey that's included seven Olympic Games, numerous and varied championships and more dreary regular season games than he'd care to remember. Here, he'll talk about them all, as well as current events and pop culture. (Just don’t ask him about music nowadays — it's not his cup of tea).
