It is with a heavy heart that I must report the passing of a Red Sox legend. Nelson de la Rosa was a king among men (think chess piece) and a near mythical figure in the annals of the 2004 World Series. Who can forget Nelson on the shoulder of Pedro after the victory over the Angels? Or Millar getting him wasted on a thimble of PBR? Or when he served as de-facto master of ceremonies during the rolling rally? It’s impossible. To forget him is to forget ourselves.Let the flags fly at half mast, let all players wear black armbands, and let the schools out early. We have lost 2 feet and 4 inches of good luck charm, hero and brother.
Adios Nelson de la Rosa, you Lilliputian champion, you tiny titan, you bite sized behemoth.
Goodnight sweet prince.
