      Yeah, it’s “America’s Favorite PASTIME”!
      Everyone’s all kinds of upset over how long these games are taking (ignoring that no one ever considered it “America’s Favorite SPORT”)!
      Money, gambling, impatience, etc. All of it’s ruining the experience of sittin’ in the lounge chair, watchin’ a game, chattin’ with those around, & calmly PASSING the TIME on a lazy summer day.
      We place no value in relaxing. We want RESULTS, DAMN IT!
      I’ll always watch MLB, but I can’t necessarily endorse it (f’rinstance, I don’t wanna’ tell people what I’m “doin’ tonight” when I plan on taking in a Red Sox game ‘cuz I’m kinda’ embarrassed).
      Whatta’ shame. 😐

      I'm not a Sox fan ( unless playing the Yanks 😂) , the only annoying parts is the ( look at me ) announcers ( started by Mr Woke himself Costas who's voice u hear now) and the ridiculous flamboyant 3 minute show boating home run antics in today's game. Real baseball enthusiasts ( or ones who have played the game) DONT " need this in the game" It's ruined the NFL and MLB better put a stop to it

      I just took it all for granted.
      I’d have trouble w/the antenna, getting the picture to stand still, and having to point my tiny b&w TV away from the sun in order to see the best games (ever) on channel 38.
      Then, all that was gone (poof)!
      I don’t recall getting cable, or seeing NESN take over, or first using a “clicker”. It just happened. 😐

I do remember Rice and Heath having to be separated between pitches after Rice had tried to go after Heath previously.

      @@georgeanthony7282I watched Rice his whole career and he was the man of reason and quiet enforcer in Boston. I’m a Yankee fan and I’ll tell you, nobody wanted anything to do with rice. Willie Horton was known as a bad boy in Detroit and when the benches emptied in Fenway nobody could calm Willie down and 6-4 225 lb Carlton Fisk was right in front of him and having no succes, when finally Rice got to Horton and was just speaking to him right in his face and willie immediately calmed right down and big Jim never put a finger on him. Players all over the league knew rice had a reputation for being a guy you don’t tick off. And your comment goes both ways, big Cliff walked out of the dugout slowly and sorta stopped, Rice was a key player for Boston and I’m sure didn’t want to get thrown out. Cliff was a DH and a 3rd string catcher and not half the player Rice was so, what stopped him from getting to rice if he really wanted to. I think rice would have picked him up and slammed him on his head and I think cliff knew it, and like I said, I’m a Yankee fan so I rarely side with Boston. Just my opinion but I’d take rice over anybody back then

    Rice was a notoriously difficult personality to deal with during his playing days with the media, a lot of teammates and the fans.
    Crazy to see how he’s been the past 10 plus years as a Sox analyst on pre and post game shows.
    Always smiling, jovial and laughing like everyone’s favorite uncle now 9:41 with the other guys behind the desk.

    • @Gregory-sm9pf
      @Gregory-sm9pf 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      He was a tough guy to figure out, your right about what your saying about his relationship with the media and the fans, in 1986 when Dave Henderson had two strikes on him during that historic comeback the Red Sox had on the Angel's and Henderson hitting that homerun forever in the minds of Sox fans, Don Baylor said Rice left the dugout headed down the runway to the locker room unbuttoning his Red Sox jersey, obviously he had thought the game was over and was hitting the showers, this infuriated Baylor who later said he wanted to go up to Rice and fight him for doing that and after Henderson hit that home run and it shows the Sox dugout erupting into cheers and excitement, Rice is nowhere to be found, then when you see Henderson in the dugout and being congratulated in the dugout you now see Rice and he's just finishing up having tucked in his shirt and adjusting his beltline, don't know if he was watching the game in the clubhouse as he was getting out of his uniform or someone went in and told him about Henderson hitting that home run so Rice had to start putting back on his uniform to rejoin his teammates which is why you don't see him in the dugout when Henderson hit that historic home run, that's bullshit on Rice leaving the team like that, especially since I believe he was the captain at the time
