Dear Abby

Dear Abby, This Sunday will be my grandson's (first) birthday party. Friends of his dad, from where he works, will be there. They are Red Sox fans. Virulent Red Sox fans. They just were at the 100th anniversary game at Fenway Park, because that's where he proposed to her. What should I do? Should I: Remind them about 1986? Kid them about Bill Buckner? Talk about Bobby Valentine? Something else? If so, what? Later

Ask them if they happened to see the Ted Williams exhibit at Fenway, it's supposed to be a must see.

Does it include his frozen head?

That's thinking too far a head for me: http://www.cbsnews.com/2100-201_162-533849.html Seriously, I will. I saw Ted play. Didn't know about the exhibit. Thanks for the idea. Later Edit - was typing this when Ben posted his comment.
