It was November 2003, and Grady Little was still manager of the Boston Red Sox, but not for long.
Aaron Boone had barely crossed home plate, but John Henry wanted to fire Little before he left Yankee Stadium.
He was talked out of it by Larry Lucchino, which was probably not a bad idea at the moment. Meanwhile. Terry Francona and his son, Nick, were visiting Georgetown University for their baseball dinner.
Nick was a left handed pitcher and the Hoyas were recruiting him for the next season. Nick Barnicle, the son of former Globe columnist and current MSNBC star Mike Barnicle, was already playing for Georgetown which is why, obviously, they also were at that baseball dinner.
