Good ole ‘Coop’. One of the most fraudulent two time All Stars in Boston Red Sox history. Sorry, Coop, but it’s true. You have to agree! You made the team--quite frankly--because you were the best of a very bad bunch of ballplayers toting Sox uniforms back in my junior and senior ‘hazy winding down days’ of high school (’93 & ’94).
Coop had some tough shoes to fill after Wade Boggs left to join the Yanks. Boggsie was only the best Red Sox third baseman in the history of the franchise. Don’t argue with me on that one people, it’s a fact. Goddamn it, Boggs was great. He could drink a shitload of Miller Lite’s, get up in the morning and just flat out rake when he got to the yard. Rake! Not to mention his ability to ‘will himself invisible’ to avoid knife wielding assailants. I digress…..
Cooper’s best year in Beantown was in 1993 when he it .279 with 9 taters and 63 rib-eyes. I know, not all that impressive, but it is what it is. Those of you that remember Coop, remember that he had an absolute cannon for an arm over at the hot corner. Ok, I guess that’s not all that impressive either, but I’m trying here, for Christ sake!
So, what have you been up to, Coop? Shoot me an e-mail at the site. Smitty & I would love to take you for a brewski some time…..throw a little Springsteen on the jukebox & talk ‘glory days’.
