Some BoSox Injection readers are aware that I’m also a high school English and Business teacher. While meeting with parents on Grade 9 Night, I noticed a particular couple make their way over to me. They were the Barkers, smiling as they approached me. I wondered what questions they would have for me about my business course that their son Brendan was taking. Instead, my attention shifted to the husband pulling out his cell phone.
What he had to show me was nothing I expected to see.
It was a man who looked similar to him standing next to legendary Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz.
