On Thanksgiving Day, we enjoy the cornerstone of celebration with our family – the Turkey. Tom Turkey was – if Ben Franklin had his way, the national bird and thus relegating the majestic eagle to second class bird citizen. The Boston Red Sox have had more than their share of “turkeys” over the years and many a fan would gladly – on occasion – give them “the bird.”
Sometimes it is just the bizarre that sets them apart such as Gene Conley and Pumpsie Green walking off the team bus in the Bronx and disappearing for three days.
