He talks about a bunch of historical bad trades, shaky managerial moves, and miscellaneous disasters (like 10 cent beer night in Cleveland).<br /><br />O's Magic - Yeah, I think my others are all portraits.<br /><br />Listmaker - Great to hear from someone who remembers Dan Graham's glory days!<br /><br />Patricia - I thought I replied to your email a few weeks ago.

Even 'feeding the green monster', yet another author diary of a red sox season (this one the disasterous 2001 year) is worth a read.jacobmrleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13991748868368917576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2534235676864614634.post-45735392591287211372009-04-25T20:27:00.000-04:002009-04-25T20:27:00.000-04:00That sounds like a great book and I really like th...That sounds like a great book and I really like that Graham card.
