Boston Red Sox Doing a Good Job of Staying on the Front Page
With the Boston Celtics in the NBA playoffs it would be understanding if they were dominating Boston sports coverage. Not so with the Red Sox doing so well and writing new pages of Red Sox history.
The Boston Red Sox are managing to not only stay front and center, they are doing it with style. And here in Boston, front and center does not mean the lead sports story, it means the lead story on the paper’s front page. Jon Lester’s complete game no hitter was the lead story for the Boston Globe this morning. Lester becomes the second Red Sox pitcher in a row to pitch a no hitter on top of the Clay Buchholz gem last September.
Veteran catcher Jason Varitek also grabbed a little piece of history becoming only the 2nd catcher in MLB history to catch 4 no hit ball games (the other catcher to do this was Ray Schalk in 1914 (2), 1917, 1922).
