R I P Pumpsie Green
Announced prior to Sox game last nite, Pumpsie Green has passed away at the age of 85. Mr. Green was the 1`st black player for the Red Sox and was a member of the team for 5 years. In a taped interview he said his greatest thrill was his 1`st Sox A B. He got a great ovation from the home crowd and promptly ripped the 3`rd pitch he saw off the monster for a triple. R I P sir, you`ll always have special place in Red Sox lore.
