Keith Olbermann posts a picture of himself with the great Bill Lee.
I recognized him right away, “though years have rolled over [his] head” and pounds have descended into his belly. It has always been my firm belief that Bucky Dent would never have had a chance to earn his eternal infamy had Don Zimmer (a/k/a the gerbil) not benched Lee late in the season for annoying Zimmer. Lee was probably the only guy on the team that was loose during that historic September swoon (historic even by Red Sox standards). He was the only guy who might have turned it around early enough to avoid the bitter proof that, if there is a God, he is pitiless and cruel.
The Red Sox, by the way, could do themselves a favor by hiring Lee to do radio play by play, with a contract guaranteeing he could say anything he wants.
Anyway, it’s good to see that Keith is hangin’ out with the right team, and the right hangers on.
