    And he couldn’t hook a cousin up with some tickets?

    What’s up with THAT?

    There are too many of us. hahahaha

    My cousin kerry is singing the national anthem at Fenway in September – and I really need to buy my tickets for that NOW because they can’t just hand out 40 tickets to all the O’Malley cousins. hahahahaha

    You know, I thought that two seconds after I hit “post” — how many cousins can he be expected to hook up!?! Dumb, Lisa

    I keep forgetting how prolific you O’Malleys are. :)

    We’re by-the-book Catholics. heh heh

    Jeezus H. Chee-rist on a popsicle stick, Sheila. What, do you O’Malleys have naked pics of Lucchino or something?

    That’s pretty awesome, and I’m coming from the other side of the Yankee/Sox divide.

    It’s just the coolest thing. He was BORN a fan of this team – as we all were in my family. And then to have that moment … I can’t wait to hear about it.

    I’m not even a baseball fan and that is awesome.

    That is the coolest thing in the world.

    May I say how adorable I think he looks in that picture? That expression.

    BTW, how’d he do on the pitch? Any word? ;-)

    It truly is.

    It’s the kind of thing where you would so want to be in the moment enough to appreciate WHAT IS HAPPENING … but it would go by so fast …

    Oops – my comment was to Jayne!!

    I’m sorry, Sheila. My question was stupid. Just that moment IS enough. Nothing else matters.

    Not at all, tracey. Every one of us who dreams of getting the chance to throw out a first pitch also dreams of snapping off a knee-buckling curve or whistling in a first-class heater. Me, I’d have to throw the curve–my heater ain’t never whistled (wheezed is more like it). ;-)

    It is an awesome thing. In a just world, red’s chance will come one fine spring day.

    For all of those wondering, Jerry Remy and Don Orsillo said that Mike’s throw was a strike! Pretty much the greatest thing in the whole world, I think…

    Anyone have any idea how we could get a replay of the actual throw?

    Jean – let me ask David if he taped the game – he might have.

  18. red says:

    Also – a strike?? hoo-yah!!! Best moment EVER.

    Hey – I’m coming home this weekend. Will you be around?

    Oh tracey – your question wasn’t stupid! I was just going off into my own reverie of what such a moment would be like. MOMENTOUS!!! :)

    Sheila, if there is video, you need to get it up on YouTube, like, stat.
