I Am One of SI's Sportsmen of the Year!

Well I am. Along with the rest of Red Sox Nation and, of course, the team. Sports Illustrated managing editor Terry McDonell said so. Here's the quote, taken right from RedSox.com, "The Red Sox are the Sportsmen of the Year, but every Red Sox fan everywhere shares in that with them".

That's me right? I'm a member of Sox Nation, a die hard fan, in case you didn't already know, and somehow weren't able to figure it out.

So, on behalf of all my fellow members, as well as the Boston Red Sox, I accept this honor. This is a well earned and well deserved honor and I am proud to be a part of it.

I would like to thank Sports Illustrated, but most of all, I would like to thank the 2004 Boston Red Sox. That happy band of idiots who showed the world what a group of guys can do when they're all in it together, and whom without, I would NEVER have been able to achieve such an honor.
