Billie's right - no need to apologize - I actually love that song! Even though I am a Cubs fan. Crying or Very sad

Billie: YOU ARE A SOX FAN?!!! Shocked

Ok, can we add some more Red Sox to the roster (I already see Dom DiMaggio and Tony "C"): Rico Petrocelli (SS), Terry Francona (Manager)...Ok and Doug Mirabelli (catcher) may not be be an all star, but I love saying his name. LOL.

Biff, so funny you mentioned Jim Gentile at first base. My husband's name is Jim Gentile and he thinks no one knows who the baseball player was ( and I doubt there is a relation although I haven't searched his family yet)!

Okay, I've added more All Stars per your suggestions and added a couple of other positions.
