The Red Sox and the Braves square off for the seventh of their nine scheduled preseason meetings at 1:05 p.m. this afternoon in Port Charlotte, Fla., behind sentient mustache Garrett Richards. There is no broadcast for today’s game.
Of all this year’s spring training trend stories, none are likely as important as Rob Bradford’s investigation into how Richards’s life has changed since he voluntarily immortalized himself in baseball lore, for WEEI. Seriously tho, just as a general note—if you’re worried you’re going to be forgotten about, as a player, the quickest way to be remembered forever is to get some chops started.
