He's a great guy and very fan friendly. I met him a couple of years ago at McCoy Stadium in Pawtucket, RI and got an autographed ball, which I had also signed by Sam Mele, who also played for the Red Sox. I told Mr. Pesky that I would like to donate something to the Jimmy Fund for his signing the ball for me but he said not to because the Sox donate plenty to the cause. I'm sure that you already know that the Jimmy Fund is to help fight cancer in children. It was started by the Boston Braves and the Red Sox took over for them after the Braves moved to Milwaukee.)

That's sad to here, hopefully he can bounce back so that he can enjoy the rest of his time here. One question why is Boston called the Hub? Like in Updike's novella Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu.
