As my last post indicated, it’s hard to talk about anything but what’s happened in the news the past week: the bombings, the chase, the fertilizer plant catastrophe in Texas, and the earthquake and China. Even as I was partaking in a charity Trivia game Friday night, the announcer kept breaking in and giving us details on the capture of Suspect #2.
So, I thought with this post, I’d post some of things that had to do with the Red Sox and this tragedy that I have found truly touching this past week. There are a couple videos (that I hope the links still work by the time you read this, as MLB has a way of denying access to things), some products, and some touching words and images.
