"Curt Schilling, Pedro Martinez, Nomar Garciaparra, Keith Foulke, Manny Ramirez, Derek Lowe, Johnny Damon, Kevin Millar, Bill Mueller, Jason Varitek, Mike Timlin, Alan Embree, Scott Williamson, David Ortiz, Trot Nixon, Tim Wakefield, Byung Hyung Kim, Terry Francona...on the same team? Is this a dream? No, it's just Red Sox." - Me

"I think if you're Red Sox, well, it's something you're born with, and affection you have." - Johnny Pesky

"I'm just tired of seeing New York always win." - Manny Ramirez

"I finally came to understand the unique nature of the Red Sox pain--not like Cubs pain (never to get there at all) or Phillies pain (lousy teams, though they did win the Series in 1980) but the deepest possible anguish of running a long hard course, again and again, to the very end and then self-destructing one inch from the finish line." - Stephen Jay Gould (A Yankee fan)

"The Red Sox are a religion. Every year we reenact the agony and the temptation in the Garden. Baseball, child's play? Hell, up here in Boston it's a passion play." - George Higgins

"All I want out of life is that when I walk down the street folks will say 'There goes the greatest hitter who ever lived!'" - Ted Williams

"I like it when the pitcher thinks he has given up a hit and, the next thing you know, I'm throwing the guy out. The pitcher gets so excited. You can see it in his face." - Nomar Garciaparra

"Get an education because no one can take that away from you." - Nomar Garciaparra

"I'm just Pedro, man. I'm just a player here. I don't want to be Michael Jordan. I want to be a normal human being. When I'm on the field, I'm just Pedro Martinez, in uniform and ready to work. An employee here. That's all I want. I don't want more fame, more cameras. I wish I could sneak by. Just go away." - Pedro Martinez

"If Skip gives me the opportunity, great. If he doesn't, I've still got a job to do." - Trot Nixon (on facing lefties.)

"Boston has always been at the top of my list. After the Everett trade I knew they need a center fielder and leadoff hitter. I told my agent Scott Boras to get the deal done." - Johnny Damon

"I'm the youngest, Derek's the richest, and Nomar's the best." - Alex Rodriguez

"He's just a flat-out stud." - Trot Nixon on Nomar Garciaparra

"Baseball isn’t a life-and-death matter, but the Red Sox are." - Mike Barnicle

"The Yankees belong to George Steinbrenner and the Dodgers belong to Manifest Destiny, but the Red Sox, more than any other team, belong to the fans." - Steve Wulf

"There’s no place like it, and it’s ours." - Stephen King (On Fenway Park)

"Baseball has lost one of its very best today with the passing of Ted Williams, someone I considered a great hero and a close friend. The entire Bush family, as so many baseball fans, loved Ted. On and off the field he believed in service to country and indeed served with honor and distinction. The "Splendid Splinter' was simply the best hitter baseball has known." - President George H.W. Bush

"Yankees Suck! Yankees Suck!" - Fans in Fenway Park during a game or shall I say any Red Sox fan, anywhere, at any time.
