An Unlikely Hero

From the moment the Boston Red Sox signed Stephen Drew, he was hated. He was immediately lumped into a category with his lifeless brother J.D. and was responsible for pushing aside the opportunity for Jose Iglesias to start at shortstop. On top of that, the Red Sox gave the injury prone infielder a huge $9.5 million contract, despite having missed about half of his team's games over the last two seasons (combined 165 regular season appearances). I was lukewarm about Drew in the beginning, perhaps giving him too much credit, and then Spring Training happened.

I'm Back...Again!

After a 2 ½ year hiatus from writing, I have decided to return at my original home, The Life of a Sportsaholic. This "re-launch" is purely selfish in nature. The blog was originally designed as an avenue for me to vent, rant, dig, analyze, and just plain express my thoughts and feelings on one of my life's greatest passions: sports. If others read my thoughts, that was, and still is, just a great bonus. That initial focus remains as true today as it did a number of years ago. I welcome followers and readers and encourage comments and opposing opinions. Hopefully you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing!
