About Me: Became a huge Sox fan after moving to Portland, Maine in 1970 and following the trade of my boyhood idol, Tommy Harper to the Red Sox. Tears of heartbreak turned to tears of joy. Go Sox!

Forum Post: Big West Coast Swing....SD, LAA, SEA, OAK......
...these West Coast trips are typically sub .500 trips. I thought the same thing, but then I went to look. We did well in 2010 and 2011, but bad before then and after then. 2012: 2-5 (Sea 4/Oak 3) an more »
