The Beauty of Being a Member of RSN in Virginia

Last night's game 1 of the ALCS was remarkable and I can not add much to what has been written regarding the performance of Daisuke, especially once he got in trouble in the 7th inning, the ability of the Red Sox to get something out of most of their opportunities, while stifling the Rays, and the virtually flawless play of the defense. So, I am writing a few words about the beauty of being a member of Red Sox Nation.

As the newly appointed Governor of RSN Virginia, I received a phone call on Thursday night from a man who has been organizing Red Sox gatherings,living and breathing the Red Sox for 2 more decades than I have been alive. He told me about meeting Ted Williams, getting Red Sox fans to attend games of the Richmond Braves when the Paw Sox were in town, the Impossible Dream, and so much more. As a life long Virginian who is also a lifelong Red Sox fan, he reached out to me, this native New Englander now living in Virigina, to talk about what being a Red Sox fan in Virginia means to him and many others. I can not wait to meet him and the network of Red Sox Nation members of which he is already a part. Thanks to Bill Grogan's phone call, I realize much more today what a GREAT honor and opportunity it is for me to have the title Governor of Red Sox Nation. I thank Bill for reaching out to me and am excited to work with him and others in Virginia to bring RSN citizens together for many purposes over the coming year.
