COMMENTARY
The name of Walpole Joe Morgan came up the other day, at it seems a fitting moment given the 2024 Red Sox begin their second-half push late night Friday at Dodger Stadium.
The question looms: Are they as good as we think they are?
Forced anecdote? Without question. I’m a sucker for Morgan, who took over the Red Sox midway through 1988 — the first season I was really watching with any deep awareness or investment — and they promptly won 19 of 20 on the way to a division title.
