Who is Rich Gedman And what about his sister Fran Fusco?

Posted October 28, 2008 on CowbellKid's Blog:
I am wondering because she wears Rays gear and has been inducted into the Pepsi/Rays Fan Wall of Fame. If you are gonna be a Rays Wall of Famer how do you have the nerve to wear Red Sox gear to Rays games when they play the Red Sox. I am not knocking Fran for being a Red Sox fan but I am actually shedding a little light on part of the problem with the Rays fanbase. Fran if you're going to be a Red Sox fan than be a Red Sox fan stop talking out of both sides of your mouth. Fran is the brother of long time Red Sox catcher Rich Gedman, you know the guy who had the passed ball in game 6 vs the Mets in the 1986 World Series with 1 out to go forcing a game 7 in which the Red Sox lost. Well Fran has to put her nose into everyone else's business. I have seen numerous examples. A kid wants a ball from a player, the player agrees, she buts in the middle telling the player to throw it to her, she'll catch it and give it to the kid... Fran why would you want to put urself in the middle of that child's memory? Why not just let the player throw it to the child, if the child drops it so what the player can walk over and toss it again. It will be much more memorable for the child to receive a ball from said player than some lady claiming to be a Rays fan but actually sporting Red Sox gear. HYPOCRITE Also you wanna tell me how to get the fans fired up and make the ball game fun please don't I have seen 10 of sitting on our hands and knitting during rays games. You think it coincidence that they rays are playing as well at home this year as they are? Numerous players have went out of their way to let me know how much they appreciate the efforts I and others in rightfield are making in order to help create more energy for the team to feed off of. Also you wanna call Radio shows and tell the world that you are in charge at the Trop and that you pull the strings of the Rays admistration go ahead maybe they will let you. But when you start calling radio shows and making steatements like The Cowbell Kid is making "racial slurs" & "using vulgar & obscene language around children" that's where I am not going to allow it anymore. U know the only reason there was no slander lawsuit filesd is because some of the folks in the organization asked me not to file it because you have cancer and are going to die soon. Or so you claim. Sympathy card? perhaps she does have cancer, looks like you do have something in common with Jon Lester besides sporting a Red Sox jersey. Who do you think you are? George W. Bush? Anyways Fran first of all I don't tell you how to be a Red Sox fan so stop trying to tell me how to cheer for my team and stop telling lies, I am an advocate against using profanity and foul language. People like you make me wanna puke. take your petition and hide it some where the sunlight wont reach it. I hope you enjoy my company right behind you next year(I am moving my season tix directly behind you. I have decided since you have no idea what I am all about and want to spread lies perhaps you should get 100 percent of what it feels like to be a red sox fan in the rays house. From the misinformation that you are sharing with others perhaps you need me to be closer to you so that you will know exactly what I say and how I say it so that you can perhaps say something that is true for once. hey fran I promise you that you don't want 100% of my attention. See you soon. If we can get more loyal Rays fans with no other allegances perhaps we can build a strong solid fanbase of hardcore rabid fans. looking forward to building a solid tradtion of MLB in Tampa Bay!
