Clare called
last night to shoot the breeze, as we used to say at St. Laurence. Fan that she is, my daughter was streaming
the White Sox game at work—kids, I tell you—when she saw Tim Anderson make a
nice play. “He’s so fast. He did it all in one motion. I don’t want to say ‘Jeter-esque,’ but it
was.”
I hope and think
she’s right. Different teams have
different historical strengths. With the
Sox, it’s always been pitching and shortstop play. Luke Appling and Luis Aparicio are in the
Hall of Fame, Even the guys who didn’t make it to Cooperstown have been pretty
good—Chico Carrasquel, Ron Hansen, Ozzie Guillen, Alexi Ramirez. And that’s not to forget Bucky Dent, who
remains near and dear in the hearts of all good Red Sox fans.
We traded Dent
before his time. Let’s hope the same
doesn’t happen with Anderson.
