Bostonian of the Week

Scott (CEO) Today is the debut of a new weekly feature here at BostonSportz.com called "Bostonian of the Week ." Each week we'll pick a Bostonian who has made news (good or bad) during the week. We welcome Illustrator Mike Briggs who will provide a caricature of the week's winner or loser.
This week we picked "Star Bostonian" Terry Francona. While Yankee fans showed their class by booing the Sox All-Star player's every move (with the exception of Manny ducking out of the way of a Carlos Zambrano pitch, then again I don't think they were cheering Manny), Terry showed his class with how he handle the Yankee players. "Tito" gave all three Yankee players a grand exit or entrance to the game. With the way the Yankee Stadium treated Terry's closer, Terry could have repaid them by denying them their closer. Instead Terry brought in the "Sandman" with one out in the ninth to a roaring Yankee Stadium. The appreciative Yankee crowd rewarded the Red Sox classy move by booing "Bostonian of the Week" runner up and All-Star MVP JD Drew. Thanks Terry for representing Red Sox Nation with good sportsmanship. Keep it classy New York.
