Dewey & Aviles At BoSox Lunch

Red Sox legend Dwight Evans (pictured here) and newcomer Mike Aviles addressed today's BoSox Club Luncheon at the Waltham Westin Hotel.

Dewey recounted his memories of both the 1975 and 1986 World Series—divulging that he has yet to watch any highlight films of the latter. Mike Aviles—who came over in a trade from Kansas City at the deadline—is thrilled to have a real opportunity at a ring. He talked about his impressive rise from Division 2 college ball through the minors to the bigs.

The BoSox Club is the official booster club of the Red Sox. You can get to great events like this by joining the club at our main website HERE.

'Oil Can', Andrew Miller Visit BoSox Club

Lanky (6'7") Red Sox left-handed starter Andrew Miller visited the BoSox Club at their luncheon today at the Westin Hotel in Waltham. Also in attendance were former Sox star Dennis 'Oil Can' Boyd—of the 1986 American League Championship team.

Radio and TV personality Dale Arnold emceed the event, which also included appearances by Bob Davis (long-time Royals broadcaster) and Royals LHP Tim Collins (from Worcester, MA).

Oil Can shared his advice with the attendees (and the two young pitchers) by stressing "first-pitch strikes" and "pitching to contact" to get hitters out. He talked about how even power pitchers—like his former teammate Roger Clemens—pitched to contact. As "The Can" pointed out, this also leads to shorter ballgames.
