It works the other way, too. What 14 year old wants to hang around his dad?"Adam, sit down. Listen, it was cute and all when he was like ten years old, but now that he's 14 he's old enough to realize that all we do on our downtime is get trashed and run around on our wives. So this ends now."
The kind that wants to watch his dad's athletic co-workers walk around in various states of undress.It works the other way, too. What 14 year old wants to hang around his dad?
Sox probably glad to take the PR hit here to get off the hook from paying him $13 million.I do feel bad for the kid but at the same time, ultimately it's his Dad's fault. Agree 100% with Sox management on this -- not sure how word got our publicly as to the reason but that's too bad. If Dad initiated it by telling someone than that's his fault too.
I'm sure there's a creepy clubhouse attendant who's sad today.
I get being a great Father and wanting your child to experience big league spring training but that should be for a day or two. Tops.
Because it's 1840 and special needs kids are kept in a locked shed a safe distinance from the "regulars".I thought his son was a special needs child and that's why he wasn't in school and hanging out with dad...if he's just a normal kid, he needs to get his ass back in school, and his dad needs to grow a set.
No, you just create a separate free message board for them to congregate. That way, the "regulars" can focus on the usual 14 year old boy stuff.
YesAre you saying the pay board are the "regulars" and BWs is the "special needs" board?

You're right. That all started in 1962.Special needs kids didn't even exist in 1840.
All season. I recall an article in the Trib last year about it with LaRoche saying how great the Sox had been about it. Not so much this year I guess.Was this just a Spring Training thing or did this silly shit go on all season?
