The Boston Red Sox need Ike Delock.
Why would the Red Sox wish to have a pitcher who is now 88-years-old and finished his 11 Boston seasons with a less than impressive 83-72 record and a 4.01 ERA? Delock is simply my baseball metaphor or rhetorical effect of what would certainly stabilize a pitching staff that would try the patience of Ghandi.
In my early teen years, most males my age were fixated on girls, cars and attempting to infiltrate their parents liquor stash. For me it was a one trick pony and that was baseball and girls, of course, as long as they had some idea about the game.
