Check out this wonderful film on the Boston Red Sox and Bill “The Spaceman” Lee on SnagFilms. I really enjoyed this film and it brought back lots of summer memories to me. This one is worth your time. Click here to fire it up.

Red Sox Nation
I went to see the Red Sox play our Washington Nationals last night. It was a beautiful night and a perfect setting for baseball. The Red Sox have a great team - and I mean team. They have strength throughout the lineup with great pitching and a great bull pen. They beat the Nats but it was a fun and well played game.
Last night’s crowd set all-time attendance records at Nationals Park and I bet more than two-thirds of the crowd were Red Sox fans. In my row, my son and I were the only Nationals fans.
When Ortiz hit his home run, I looked around and it seemed like everyone in the park was standing and cheering. Red Sox Nation was out in full force.
I know the Nationals can build up a big and loyal following and sell the place out on their own one day but more than 100 years of tradition have served the Red Sox well and winning a few World Series doesn’t hurt either.
Me and Jake
Jake Gyllenhaal and me. We are everywhere together it seems, Father’s Day at the Four Seasons and last night at the Nationals game.
Maybe I can join his posse? Jake, Lance, Matthew and me.

“The Lost Son of Havana”
I went to see this great documentary film on Monday night and met the directors, producers and the star of the show, Luis Tiant. The film was a sports film - produced in conjunction with ESPN - but, more importantly, was a film about family, coming home and politics as well.
My family and I really enjoyed it. It brought back lots of memories to me about growing up in Lowell, Mass; going to Red Sox games; and then watching the Sox play the Reds in the World Series from my dorm room at Georgetown University. Luis Tiant was truly then “EL TIANTE”.
I am going to the Nationals game tonight to see them play the Red Sox. I will be rooting for the home team but a little bit of me smiles when I see the Sawx play!
Dan Nailed It
Check out the video from the Orioles vs. Red Sox game in Baltimore when Manny Ramirez hit his 500th home run. Wow – it was a total sellout for Red Sox fans. I, by chance, was in Boston on Saturday night and watched the local TV sports broadcast at 11:00 pm from my hotel room. The newscaster commented that Red Sox nation had taken over O’s Park and wouldn’t give it back. Ouch!
