DC Comics – Power Records
On January 26, 2015, I made yet another plea for the Red Sox to retire the numbers of Pedro Martinez and Wade Boggs.
Both will be retired by the end of 2016.
Somehow I connected that to an old Batman record that used to scare the crap out of me.
Enjoy this Sully Baseball Podcast Rewind.
DC Comics – Power Records
The Red Sox should act more like me and my mom… find ways to AVOID tension. Do this by retiring Boggs and Pedro’s number.
How does that connect with the Batman enemy, Man-Bat?
It makes sense of this episode The Sully Baseball Daily Podcast.
When I was a kid I obsessed over Star Wars, Batman, Lego and baseball.
My brother and I played all 4 constantly, but there wasn’t any cross over.
Chewbacca never showed up in Gotham City. There was no Lego baseball stadium.
And we had space advantures in Lego, but they were always the cool Lego spacemen with the helmet, airtank and the spaceship zooming around the moon logo on their chest and spaceships.
We played with them whenever we weren’t also playing Star Wars, Batman or baseball.
There was an order to the universe.
Well this Christmas something changed in the fabric of the universe.
A friend of the family gave my boys these Lego figures of baseball players.
Specifically Kevin Youkilis and David Ortiz. They came with a Red Sox cap, the correct facial hair, a bat and also a glove. (Very interesting to see Big Papi with a glove.)
But consider the fact that there is Lego Batman now… and Lego Star Wars is everywhere, I wonder if I would have been able to deal with all of this childhood fun overlapping.
Oh who am I kidding? It would have been awesome.
