I thought about wearing my road 2004 World Series Wakefield jersey -- any time is a good time to pay tribute to Timmy -- but went instead with my blue Pedro Martinez 1999 All-Star Team shirt. Just a hunch. Above me is Yaz, a mixed-media painting by the late Cape Cod artist Donn Devita, which I bought from him as a kid (that story is worth a whole entry by itself, I'll hold off describing the artwork in detail for another day).
I have a couple more colors to add to the closet: looking for a Sunday Red which I have reserved for Roman, and a home white. I simply cannot commit to a number! I've been chewing on this for 30 years. But it's not the home opener, anyway. My wife favors her Carlton Fisk jersey for every occasion, but wore her unnumbered, plain gray road jersey today; she is a woman without frills.
