Background
I've been a huge Red Sox fan my entire life.  My favorite player growing up was Jim Rice.  I'm a child of the 1980s, so I love the music, movies, and TV of that decade.  I went to graduate school in Madison, Wisconsin, before moving back to the northeast when I got a position at Bowdoin in the Department of Government and Legal Studies.
