Today’s American League game between the Kansas City Royals and Boston Red Sox is the most recent baseball game ever played, and is thereby the most important. Please join me at 1:35 p.m. Eastern for what I can only describe as Tom Gordon’s Fever Dream.
Tom Gordon’s Fever Dream: Live-Blogging Royals Vs. Red Sox
Who is the most Royals baseball player of all time? Who is the most Red Sox player of all time? This afternoon, as we watch the game, we will find answers to these questions of utmost importance.
Please, feel free to join in by adding a comment. I’ll try to post as many as yours as I can without gumming up the works. (Hint: if your comment is especially vulgar, it won’t be posted.)
If you’ve hung around for previous live blogs, you know the deal: at some point, we will debate and vote on the most Royals player of all time. Later, we’ll debate who is the most Red Sox player of all time.
I’m worried that the “most Royals” debate will result in hurt feelings and threats of violence. I realize that this is a debate of utmost consequence, but please, let’s remain civil and professional.
