How he's been back a hundred times in the one you know threaten his life."

" Then 1990 standing ovation first game first game pact with the Red Sox regularly puts one in seven games a year but. That's why -- think of is that big of agility actually came back America's the big deal was the first pitch of course and that was nice and there was striking it was a nice moment. Put it in if you uninformed -- informed us all finally all of -- forget well and I think everybody believes that's the -- the Red Sox you know they have won the World Series and how many years before the ground ball goes through his legs and now that. They've won a couple of Aussie safe safe specter of yeah I could feel noted David Ortiz low assists and bill Buckner."
