Every now and then we get lucky! Of course the Sox have not got lucky all year, however that aside, I get lucky today because I get to spend the afternoon here.
Kerry and I (David is in North Carolina) get to share the day with Luis Tiant, El Tiante, truly one of the Red Sox all time greats, and in my view the best pitcher not in the National Baseball Hall of Fame! And I still can’t figure out why, can you say future blog?
Curtis Liquors is owned and operated by Rick Curtis whom I have had the pleasure of knowing for 40 years! Yikes, has it been that long? I have worked with him, worked for him and am fortunate to call him my friend!

There are two Curtis Liquor Stores (Weymouth and Cohasset) and I will tell you that you cannot and will not find a finer wine selection anywhere! So when you are out and about today, take a ride over to the Curtis Liquors on Columbian Street in South Weymouth Mass between 1-4 PM. Register for your chance to win an Ipad.
Pick up a great bottle of wine…..
A great cigar….
A great book…..
Listen and watch a live radio broadcast….
Meet a Red Sox legend….
And say hello to Kerry and I,
And you can be home in time to watch the Sox and Yankees….It’s got to be better than last night! Doesn’t it?
And so it is on this day in Fenway Park history, July 28, 2012.
About fenwaypark100
Hello and welcome, my name is Raymond Sinibaldi. A retired history teacher, after 26 years in the classroom, a baseball fan for three score and five, I have authored 13 books. Eight about baseball and her glorious history; most recently Yankees in the Hall of Fame and Dodgers in the Hall of Fame. An aficionado of the Kennedy Administration, I have written four books in that realm and also co-authored a book of motivational stories for coaches. The first, The Babe in Red Stockings which was co-authored with Kerry Keene and David Hickey and released in 1997. It is a chronicle of Babe's days with the Red Sox. We also penned a screenplay about Babe's Red Sox days so if any of you are Hollywood inclined or would like to represent us in forwarding that effort feel free to contact me. In 2012 we three amigos published Images of Fenway Park in honor of the 100th birthday of Fenway Park. That led to the creation of this blog. The following year, 2013 came my first solo venture, Spring Training in Bradenton and Sarasota. This is a pictorial history of spring training in those two Florida cities. The spring of 2014 brought forth the 1967 Red Sox, The Impossible Dream Season. The title speaks for itself, and it also is a pictorial history. Many of the photos in this book were never published before. The spring of 2015 brought 1975 Red Sox, American League Champions. Another pictorial effort, this will be about the Red Sox championship season of 1975 and the World Series that restored baseball in America. The spring of 2016 brought 61 Motivational Stories for Every Coach of Every Sport. My first JFK effort was in 2017 with John F Kennedy in New England, which was followed by JFK From Florida to the Moon (2019) and JFK At Rest in Arlington (2020). Jackie's Newport came about in 2019 and in 2023 came both Yankees in the Hall of Fame and Dodgers in the Hall of Fame. I was fortunate enough to consult with sculptor Franc Talarico on the “Jimmy Fund” statue of Ted Williams which stands outside both Fenway Park and Jet Blue Park Fenway South, in Fort Myers Florida. That story is contained in the near 300 posts which are contained herein. Throughout the years this blog has morphed from an exclusive Red Sox focus, to a broader baseball perspective to a blog about life, with baseball a large portion of it. This year, 2024, I have reactivated this blog which lay dormant for quite some time. Welcome aboard, pass the word and feel free to contact me about anything you read or ideas you may have for a topic. Email me at fenwaypark100@gmail.com.
