Well I think we’ve all heard about the Curt Schilling near deal by now and as you would expect that’s what encompasses most of the headlines from the Boston area papers. Theo Epstein says that re-signing Mikey Lowell is a top priority which bodes well for the Red Sox and their fans. Hopefully, they can get this deal worked out. Epstein is also fielding calls about Coco Crisp, whom the Red Sox are likely to move with the emergence of Jacoby Ellsbury.
And to let you know, the Red Sox have definitely invaded Japan with their latest World Series victory.
For that day, Sankei Sports looked like something straight out of “Red Sox Nation.” Because Matsuzaka and Okajima emerged as key ingredients in their success, the number of fans in Japan walking around with Sox caps has increased to unprecedented levels.
By the end of the season, it wasn’t unusual to see fans wearing David Ortiz and Manny RamÃrez jerseys, not just those of Matsuzaka and Okajima.
As you can see, the entire Red Sox team is big in Red Sox Nation: Japan. So while you’re checking out all the headlines from the Boston area media, be sure to read about the Invasion of Japan by the Boston Red Sox. Be sure to vote today as well.
