O'Farrell is proving himself to be as adept on the hardwood as he was on the gridiron, where he is one of the finest players his age in western Massachusetts. It is as a pitcher, however, that young O'Farrell truly shines...
(Pat asked the editors of the Eagle to refrain from making continual references to his children as "the son" or "the daughter of Boston Red Sox star Pat O'Farrell," prefering them to be recognized for their own accomplishments. The editors respected Pat's wishes.)

I guess we'll see a Baseball Life of Mike O'Farrell pop up soon.Also thanks for giving us one more ride with Pat.
