If you were to ask six-year-old Juliet, in 2006, who her favorite Red Sox player was, she would not have said Big Papi, or Manny, or Wake, or even Craig Breslow. (He was on the 2006 roster! Hahaha!). Her answer would have been Álex González, whom she affectionately called Gonzally-Boom. She really knew him better from her 2005 Red Sox Uno deck than from his baseball play. She honestly didn’t know much about him at all, other than that he had a fun last name to make a nickname out of. But she was six! It makes sense.
