RIP from a Red Sox fan. The rivalry with him and his Yankees was real, and often bitter, but the guy had a heart of gold. His generous contributions each year to the Jimmy Fund, the Sox charitable organization, make him aces in my book. He may have been a crotchety, mean SOB, but he was a good-hearted, crotchety, mean SOB.

Condolences to his family and all of Yankee-dom.
