Papi’s Final Stand

The Red Sox come home today for their last regular season home stand….and the last regular season home stand of #34’s career.  I’m no sports writer so I won’t try to wax poetically about the ride it has been, but I will say that I’ve gotten a huge kick out of being in his presence off and on for the past 13 seasons of Red Sox baseball.  The weeks of the ALCS, ALDS, World Series, and Rolling Rally Championship Parade back in 2004 will go down as one of the best months of my life.  While we’ve shared fewer than 10 sentences over the years, he has both smiled for my camera and made me smile more times than I could ever count.  Bring on the postseason!

  1. Thanks for a fantastic array of photos, Nichole. Hard to choose a favorite. I’m surely going to miss seeing the Big Guy. You gotta believe that Red Sox baseball just won’t be the same without him. Thanks for the memories, Big Papi! Enjoy your retirement and keep smiling. You light the world.
