For making it into the Baseball Hall of Fame! I have had this autograph ever since I was a little girl, and I’m proud to see that #14 has officially been retired by the Red Sox.
Incidentally, if you can ever make it to Cooperstown, NY, its one of those experiences you never forget. Especially for Red Sox fans.

In the 1800's, when hand-worked printing presses were in operation, 'sorts' were the technical term for individual letters. Solo characters became words and words became sentences.
The modern frustrated phrase, "I'm out of sorts", originates when the master printer looked down at his empty trays and lamented he could go no further in his work as all of his letters were used.
This is why I changed the blog title from "Amnesia" to "Out of Sorts", because it seems like I'm always looking for words and I'm constantly running out. :)

Rice was my favorite Red Sox player of his era…and he had some pretty stiff competition with who was on the team at the time. I deem this excellent.
