My Comment: I'm in my favorite New England sports living bar on this Jackie Robinson Day. On this day Major League baseball celebrates the thirty-fifth anniversary of the day Jackie Robinson made his baseball debut and broke the eighty-year color barrier. Throughout baseball every uniformed person wears the number 42 to honor the man who changed the face of baseball under unbelievable pressure.
I've always considered it a great shame for the Boston Red Sox that they passed on signing Jackie Robinson when they had the chance and could have been first instead of dead last in the integration of Major League Baseball.
In the bar are regular Rich and two other women watching the game.
First inning - no runs for either team.
Second inning - no runs for the Rays, three runs for the Red Sox on a Cody Ross homerun!
A few more people have arrived.
Third inning - Rays and Red Sox score no runs
Fourth inning - one run for the Red Sox
an older couple are at one of the high tables and a little later their son showed up.
Fifth inning - Rays are threatening and a potential homerun is under review. Still a foul ball. But the Rays get three runs. Red Sox go out 1,2,3.
The noise level has increased in the bar and there are a few more people in a booth.
Sixth inning - Rays have added a run to tie it up. Scott Atchison in to pitch. No outs, men on first and second. Strike out on a bunt attempt. Vicente Padilla come in to pitch. One out, still men on first and second. Two outs. No more damage. The Red Sox are up. Ortiz gets another double and the Red Sox retake the lead. Intentionally walk Cody Ross. The runners are moved along to second and third. Another intentional walk. Bases loaded and two outs. Just the one run.
Seventh inning - Rays do not get any runs. Now it's the Red Sox turn. Homerun!
Eighth inning - Rays are runless. Red Sox go down 1, 2, 3.
Ninth inning - Alfredo Aceves is closing. No Rays runs. Boston wins!
