THE MONSTER IS DEAD

Sad news this morning as the Boston Globe has this story of the passing of Dick "The Monster" Radatz. For Sox fans old enough to remember the team of the 60s (I am not), they remember Radatz as one of the most dominant closers of that era. For younger fans, we remember "The Monster" as a big (very big), gravelly-voiced guy who talked baseball on radio and TV. Red Sox Nation has lost one of the good guys.
