Red Sox To Use 100-Year-Old Batboy Vs. Yankees
Eighty-six years ago, Arthur Giddon was a batboy for the Boston Braves. This Saturday, he will reprise his role for one batter at Fenway Park during the Red Sox-Yankees game. Giddon is 100 years old now, so the real drama will be whether or not he can get the bat back to the dugout before he craps his pants.
I suppose the fact that he’s only going to be out there for one batter is good, since the average length of a Saturday Red Sox-Yankees game is approximately nine hours (as mandated by FOX). DEADSPIN points us to the story, which appeared in the BOSTON HERALD.
