Red Sox 7, Pirates 3: The story via blog »
March 21, 2007
Today's baseball news, with a Rhode Island tinge . . .
Rhode Island's Rocco Baldelli may be injured again. The St. Petersburg Times reports that Baldelli, who recently was inserted into the No. 3 spot in the Devil Rays' batting order, had to leave Tuesday's game because of a potential hamstring injury . . . Sad news from Terry Pluto of the Akron Beacon Journal, who reports that Gomer Hodge, who served as the Pawtucket Red Sox' batting coach in 2001, is "in the final stages of Lou Gehrig's disease and dementia". The story focuses on Hodge's days as a player with the early 1970s Indians, but people locally may remember him from his year in Pawtucket . . . Buried at the bottom of a Pittsburgh Post-Gazetta notebook leading with Daisuke Matsuzaka's appearance in Bradenton today is a note on ex-Red Sox minor-leaguer Freddy Sanchez, who is recovering from a strained right knee . . .
