Why Jason Bay Will Thrive at Boston
It's his destiny.
From redsox.com:
A couple of things he may not have had time to pack came from his childhood in British Columbia, Canada, where his father, Dave Bay, was a huge Red Sox fan.
"For whatever reason, my dad was a diehard Red Sox fan," Bay said. "I had a onesie when I was however old, and it was a Red Sox onesie and I still have it. I grew up my entire life with two big posters -- one of Jim Rice and the other of Carl Yastrzemski with the 'New England -- I Love You' saying under it. They are still in my parents' basement."

well, there you have it.
hard to argue with that.
great factoid. i love what the kid has done so far... lets hope this spark stays lit while the Sox are on the road...
I was at Saturday's game-it was nice to see the welcome Bay got from the fans, and to see Youk hit his stride. This is why we love our boys from Boston! Manny was a big part of the team, but he was NOT the whole team.
There is still plenty to cheer about in Boston in the post Manny era...Big Papi is still the face of the Red Sox and will lead them to another title. I can't wait until Sept to get back to Fenway.
Jason Bay is a great all around player, in addition to the fact that he is much younger than Manny. Red Sox fans, look forward to many more great years with the addition of a true ballplayer with a good work ethic. Manny might have had more raw talent, but what you got in Bay is a guy who will play good defense and in the end, help the team more.
