So long, George

[SoxFan]

Yeah, we hated you for all those years. You were the Darth Sidious of baseball's evil empire, after all.

But you know what? I think a lot of us are going to miss you.

You contributed ungodly amounts of money to the Red Sox team charity, the Jimmy Fund, so that someday pediatric cancer will be no more than a bad memory.

You were a fighter who loved the battle.

You helped restore one of the great rivalries in sports.

In an age of drab billionaires, you were one of the last of a breed.

Safe passage.

Mr 'pede knew him personally in a minor way connected to one of his Tampa charitable activities
