Kevin Thomas does not always write about baseball.

On Baseball: At Fenway, a sense of desperation
BOSTON – Walk around Fenway Park around 6 p.m. and you hear the constant sounds, something similar to crickets on a late night in the Maine woods. Tikkits, tikkits, tikkits here. Maybe it’s my imagination but the scalpers seem a little more desperate these days. Fenway is no longer the place to be. The hard-to-get […]
