My new favorite @MLB player is Sal Frelick!
He’s not the best player on his team but he’s their LEADER and it’s obvious!
He’s an undersized guy who busts his ass on every play and even when he’s the HERO he praises his Rookie teammate.
Having a player like him on the team and in the clubhouse is more valuable than you can imagine.

David Wright explains how to identify a selfish teammate
“To me, that’s what shows everybody what you’re made of. Anybody can smile and have a good time and enjoy the game when things are going their way and you’re having success.”
“But it takes a special person to be a good teammate. To be the first one to high-five the guy when they do something good, even though you’ve had three strikeouts that game.”
“What face do you put on in the locker room when you got four hits and the team lost compared to when you went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts and the team won? Happy-hit guy. Happy-hit guy is a term that we use to this day.”
“I think that differentiates between the true great teammates and the winners and the guys that are out there trying to do it for themselves. It’s just dealing with failures, dealing with adversity, and it’s a small sample size of what you’re going to get in real life.”
"Walpole Joe" defines what we mean when we say "baseball man" . Mount Rushmore of Walpole athletes and one of the best men you could possibly meet! #tradition
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Red Sox Hall of Famer and former manager Joe Morgan. He was a truly beloved fixture of the Red Sox, spending nearly two decades with the organization.
We send our love to the Morgan family.
Just spent 3 days at West St watching a 12B tournament! It was everything that youth sports should be, 8 local towns competing and kids having a blast. 16 games with zero issues and as a former late blooming B team kid I loved every minute of it! Thanks Mark Paster #tradition
We check in with the @northeastgators in our first installment of our Summer Ball Journal. Plenty of talent shining this summer.

Incredible person who genuinely cared about HS sports and the kids that play them. From his time at the Daily Transcript where I first met him as a kid to his Hall of Fame career at the Herald there's been none better! Walpole will miss you RIP 🙏🙏🙏
