Minor Lines 8/13/24: Roman Anthony Bursts Into Worcester
While I have a platform and before we get into the games, I implore you to give to the Jimmy Fund if you are able to during this year’s Red Sox telethon. I have a close relation to the cause; my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer in April, and although the prognosis is excellent and she’s trudging along like I know she can, the expertise and research by the doctors and scientists at institutions like Dana Farber make the process much easier and seamless than anyone would expect.
