Bridging the Gap
Queridos Red Sox fans,
As I was sitting down tonight at one of my three dinners, I thought of you and how you have always treated me like family. But now I see that there is a whole new fan base of our "family." Since 2004, more people have realized there is no better pasttime, than rooting for the Red Sox.
That is pretty cool to me. It’s no problem that the new fans may not remember when I pitched for the Red Sox. It’s no problem that they may not be able to tell me from Wally the Green Monster. (he is the green one.)
All I know is that I hope their new experiences as Red Sox fans have been heartfelt, intense, and most of all, fun.
As president of Red Sox Nation, I will bring the new fans together with the old fans so they can experience the fun together as I saw it back during my days on the team.
One way to welcome the new fans into our hearts is to show the Red Sox on free television at least once a week, just like in the old days. Fans have often told me stories of their friday nights watching Channel 38 or 25 or 68. NESN is wonderful, but it does not allow for all fans to enjoy it.
Consider my request. And please consider me for President of Red Sox Nation.
Mucho gusto,
El Guapo
El Guapo for President of Red Sox Nation 
Dear ElGuapo–I always loved watching you pitch and now listening to your pitch. I met your representative at the Baseball Tavern last week. He needs to work on his “bobble belly,” though. If you are elected president, will you visit my daughter’s sixth graders in Roxbury?
