Colleague Nick Cafardo, who died Thursday at age 62, was a beloved member of the Globe, the baseball world, and far, far beyond.
u25a0 Red Sox statement: “We are saddened by the sudden loss of long-time baseball reporter, Nick Cafardo. For over three decades, Nick was a fixture at Fenway Park and throughout ballparks across the country. His coverage was as consistent as the game itself. His opinions on the Red Sox and the most pressing issues facing Major League Baseball were a constant, particularly through the prominent Sunday baseball notes column in the Boston Globe.
