It's a long held tradition for the Red Sox to hold a charity golf tournament during spring training to benefit the Children's Hospital of Southwest Florida. This year's tournament (on February 20) will be the sixteenth time that they've done it. I imagine that it's much appreciated, as last year they raised $665,000 for the neonatal intensive care unit of the hospital.
I don't know if Smoltzy's shoulder will allow him to play but this would be right up his alley. (I can call him Smoltzy, right? It seems only a matter of time before Francona, in the tradition of Millsy, Mossy, Pedy, Loogie, Mikey, Wakey, Cashie, Petey, Dougie, Javy, Oki, etc., bestows the nickname upon him.) Last year's tournament also provided us with the tidbit that Javier Lopez was a high school tuba player, which explains his superior musicianship in the band-in a typical high school band the tuba might as well be a member of the percussion family.
