Red Sox catcher David Ross on beards, Twitter and bouncing back
After suffering a severe concussion last season, Red Sox backup catcher
David Ross was forced to take off two months, missing a total of 65
games. There were times when he wondered if he’d ever play again, but he
returned to his spot behind the plate in August and ended up playing in
four of the six World Series games— including the series clincher on
October 30, 2013.
Fenway Park is one of the oldest and smallest baseball stadiums in
America—and also one of its most beloved. Situated in the middle of a
dense city block, the park has endured a lot over the years, including
multiple fires, threats of demolition, and a near-century-long losing
streak from its home team. Nevertheless, Red Sox fans consider it
sacred—some even going so far as to spread family members’ ashes on its
grounds—and with a 100th anniversary under its belt and no end date in
sight, Fenway seems poised to play on for generations to come.

The November election of Marty Walsh signaled a return to a long
tradition of Irish-American mayors in Boston. Starting in 1885, Hugh
O’Brien of County Cork became the city’s first Irish mayor, and in the
1900s, Irish-American politicians held the mayor’s seat for 85 out of
100 years. However, Boston’s Irish residents weren’t always so accepted.
