I was mic’ed up, so I had to choose my words wisely. My son looked at me when they were doing the video, and he said, ‘Dad, are you really the greatest baseball player in the whole world?’ I wanted to look at him straight-faced and say, ‘Yes, I am,’ but since I was mic’ed up, I thought it might come off a little bit (wrong), so I said, ‘No, I’m just a baseball player.’ He goes, ‘But everyone is kind of acting like you’re the greatest in the whole world.’ I’m like, ‘Keep that thought.’

“The Board decided to accept NESV’s proposal on the basis that it best met the criteria we set out originally for a suitable new owner. NESV’s philosophy is all about winning and they have fully demonstrated that at Red Sox.
