Snap Grackle Pop
You know, I was pretty sure that fruitcake Dr. Charles was responsible for the music at Fenway, but this article on boston.com confirmed it for me. I did comment to Joe that they should have played “The Bird is the Word,” but I didn’t know The Rivingtons by name.
Gordon Edes couldn’t find out what happened to the little guy. I’m sure he’s trying to be funny with his David Wells comment, but I am not amused. However, Jeff Horrigan over at the Boston Herald came thru with news on his fate. I guess he was someone’s meal after all.
Boston.com also has a photo gallery of the little fella. Photo here by Jim Davis from the Boston Globe.
RIP little guy.

I don’t buy it. If there were Fenway hawks circling weaker prey, they would have carted Matt Clement off months ago.

[…] All I want to know is; if the Sox don’t make the playoffs, is Wilbur going to lay claim to the “Curse of the Grackle?” Wilbur references the little guy in the post by stating he was a foretelling of death according to Greek superstition. The funny thing is, I wonder if Dan Shaughnessy will try and steal that for his own. You know he’s the one with the market on curses in this town. […]
