plus he's a Packers fan, which should excite the Cheesehead contingent.


Well his wife is from Wisconsin so he had to give a little.

My family and I are also huge Red Sox fans. There aren't many of us in New England that aren't. Actually as I watch the away games I seem to hear more and more fans from across the country getting the "let's go Red Sox" chant going! And where there are Red Sox fans there are Big Papi fans Very Happy

We had our picture taken with Big Papi last year at Fenway. Just shaking his hand was sooooo cooool! He's one big guy!!!

Linkat, my son would be so jealous of your daughter having a batting clinic with Papi. What the hell....I'M jealous of your daughter... Laughing Laughing . What a great experience for her.


My goodness - when Papi went to her group she just stood beside him the entire time staring at him in awe (except of course when it was her turn to bat). She wore an "I love Papi" shirt and he said to her - dude love the shirt. I was there and got to watch it all.

And of course the money all went to charity.

It's been so long since I've been a baseball fan (Go Twins! Wave that Homer Hankie!) that this uniform seems ridiculous to me:

Isn't the point of all those "Sox" teams that you're supposed to SEE the socks?! What's with the full-length pants?

That's more like it.

I remember suspenders, though, or something between the bottom of the pants and the shoes. I looked up some old Twins pics and seems like the sox-showing was already pretty scanty (maybe 6 inches) in 1987. But the pants weren't down to the GROUND like that.

Maybe he has lumpy calves and doesn't want to expose them. :wink:
