Susie to the contrary notwithstanding, this deserves TOP POST status, just for being a really neat idea, beautifully expressed (#msg-5852416):


Dear Mr. Epstein:

My dad took me to Fenway Park when I was eight or nine years old.
Walking up the ramp, seeing the greenest grass I'd ever seen, the lights, the ballplayers...it was magac to me; and to many thousands of others.

My dad is 85, and like so many others he has suffered, perservered and adopted the motto, "Wait 'till next year."

He NEVER gave up, nor did I.

Last fall was magic.

I offer you an idea; find Red Sox fans throughout New England. Men and women. ALL 80 YEARS OR OLDER.

No 75 year old "kids."

Invite them to Fenway for the April 11th home opener.

Put the players out on the field.

Let each 80 year or older present a World Championship ring to a player.

It's my sense that it'll bring the house down; that the fans cheers will travel all the way to the Bronx.

If this idea appeals to you I respectfully ask but one thing; please include my dad. Herbert Greenblatt.


Sincerely,


Alan Greenblatt
