In Memoriam
Dick Flavin, long-time member and great friend of the BoSox Club, passed away this morning. Dick entertained our members for many years with his poems and performances full of fun and humor. He made us laugh and smile, and enjoy the warmth of memories. He was the best storyteller. He told stories about baseball, sharing anecdotes and his wry bemusement at human foibles.
His Musings by Dick Flavin has been such an enjoyable part of our luncheons for many years.
As Poet Laureate, Senior Ambassador of the Boston Red Sox, and Voice of Fenway Park, Dick served as public address announcer for Red Sox day games. A member of the Massachusetts Broadcasters Hall of Fame, his television commentaries won seven New England Emmy Awards.
He will be greatly missed.

Red Sox Legend Tony Conigliaro Would Have Been 72
Had he lived, Red Sox great Tony Conigliaro would have turned seventy-two years old today. The kid from Boston's North Shore was the quickest to 100 home runs in MLB history—then, he was struck down in his prime by a bean-ball. Just a year and a half after the horrible events of August 18, 1967, he came back to hit 20 HRs with 82 RBI in 141 games. He was truly one of us—he will always be one of us. We can only imagine what could have been. Rest in peace, Tony. (www.fenwaynation.com)

Notes from the BoSox Club luncheon on July 20th at Fenway Park!
David Price and Jim Rice. Together at the BoSox Club July 20 luncheon at Fenway! What a day. Red Sox poet laureate and BoSox Club friend Dick Flavin kicked it off with a great ode to the ace Price and added a historical tome on a hitting exhibition involving Ted Williams and the Babe. Then it was NESN guy, Dave O'Brien's turn to question the two guests. Price gave all confidence that he will find his ace self with the Sox. He concluded with a cute story about his canine companion, Astro. Hall of Famer Rice touched on the greatness of the '75 Sox and added some great hitting stories based on his contacts with Ted, Yaz and his own hitting coach Johnny Pesky. Both signed for all!
