One Small Step By Me, One Giant Leap for the Space Man

We watched the Academy Awards on Sunday night and were surprised that Daddy's favorite movie of the year, High and Outside, about his favorite baseball player, Bill Lee, did not win any awards. Justice was served today, if even for just us, when Bill was selected to the Red Sox Hall of Fame.

Little known fact: Bill signed baseballs and copies of his book, The Little Red (Sox) Book: A Revisionist Red Sox History, for the people at his and mommy's wedding rehearsal dinner. He signed them because Daddy named Christopher's cat, Bill Lee Bones, after him, and Bill really likes cats. Daddy says you can't make this stuff up.

Though I am not a lefty, to keep this blog real, I am posing as a southpaw in this picture because Bill was the greatest left-handed pitcher in Red Sox history.
