I'm watching the Sox-Mets game and Jon Lester just pitched to Julio Franco. Franco's Major League debut was April 23, 1982 with the Phillies. Lester wasn't even born until January 7, 1984. I'm guessing that Franco has socks older than Lester.

Young Lastings Milledge is having a tough time with left field at Fenway. He misplayed a ball off the wall by Loretta and now a ball dropped behind him on the warning track for a Manny double. Takes some practice to learn how to play that Monster.

Pedro returns at Fenway tomorrow night. I think he'll get a great reception from the Fenway faithful.
