Boston Baseball And Football Notes

Right now the Boston area baseball and football teams have combined to win 12 straight games.

Respectively, the baseball Red Sox and football Patriots have all but won their one eighth division and started the season (3-0) despite but also perhaps because their great quarterback, Tom Brady was suspended for 4 games by the power hungry, Bronxville, New York resident, NFL czar, Roger Goodell.

Thrice in their history, the Red Sox, who last “titled” in 2013, have won the World Series three years apart, 1912/1915, 1915 1918 and 2004/2007, the latter with a pair of Joe Buck presided sweeps.

On a far happier and better broadcasting plane, the ’04 and ’07 sweeps provided a chance for the fine veteran Red Sox broadcaster, Joe Castiglione, who as a professional endured game 6 of the 1986 World Series when the Red Sox were denied, one out from the title, to call the clinching last outs.
