The sports radio and TV guys turned out yesterday for the John Hancock Fantasy Day at Fenway to benefit the Jimmy Fund. The event had been postponed a day because of rain. Among those on hand were NESN's Paul Devlin, CBS4's Dan Roche, WCVB's Mike Dowling, WLVI's Jim Smith, and WHDH sports producer John Zannis. They all took turns at bat trying to hit the Green Monster. During Fantasy Day, John Hancock gives $1,000 to the Jimmy Fund each time a batter hits the wall. This is the 15th year of the event, and with the money raised this year, it will have raised more than $5 million for cancer research and care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.

Governor Mitt Romney and his wife, Ann, had a power dinner at Davio's Sunday night with former New York mayor and fellow Republican Rudy Giuliani. The gov's office made the reservation for a private room, and the politicos were joined by a few aides. The crew had dinner and met -- without interruption or any Davio's staff present -- for about an hour and a half in the wine room. And before you can say, ``Wine room, eh?" the dinner tab showed only one drink ordered by the party for the night -- an $8 glass of wine.

Jim Carmody, vice president and GM of Seaport Boston, was joined by Fenway Park announcer Carl Beane and former Sox pitcher Luis Tiant, who has diabetes, at the Father of the Year awards dinner the other night to benefit the American Diabetes Association.

Charles Stith, director of the African Presidential Archives and Research Center at Boston University; and Brian Moynihan, president of Global Wealth & Investment Management for Bank of America. The four were honored for their commitment to fatherhood and community.
