One For Those Long Gone

We were saddened to hear of the passing of AB, one of our comments section's regulars. In tribute, we give the mic to AB's brother, BB:

"On October 20th at 7:38am, AB went down swinging and made his final trip to the dugout. AB (AKA Andy Block) was a lot of things to a lot of people. Besides being a disagreeable bastard, he was my brother, my best friend and best drinking buddy. We were able to go to a lot of games together, ball parks were his place of worship, a true Sox fan, born into it, lived it, loved it and hated it. He got to see the Sox win it all, twice, and that meant a lot to him. The picture is from Spring Training 2009 at Fort Myers; AB on the left, BB in the middle, LB on the right. When you get a chance, drink a cold one for him."

No need to twist my arm. Here's to you, AB. From Red, Denton, and the SG crew.
