Jeffrey Donovan? Throwing out the first pitch? Who the hell is he?
Bob Stanley should be throwing out the first pitch, to mark Papelbon’s recent milestone and to celebrate his own terrific career.
Jeffrey Donovan is an Amesbury native and the star of Burn Notice, a show we recently had a giveaway contest here on BSMW for.
Bob Stanley isn’t a bad idea, though.
Yeah, I confess I did Google him afterward. Couldn’t help the snark, though.
Any other night . . .
The HR Stanley gave up to Reggie Jackson in the ‘78 playoff game was an absolute bomb and seems to be forgotten.
He did, however, have an honorable career and reached into his own pocket when fellow players stiffed clubhouse personnel on playoff shares in ‘86.
He was handy with a rake when the Demon Beach Balls fell into the outfield.
