The Red Sox writer’s name is not “Bill,” it’s Wally Ballou as any New Englander knows.
(“Wally Ballou” was a fictional character voiced by Bob Elliott, father of actor Chris Elliott ((Something About Mary)), of the comic radio duo of “Bob and Ray ((Goulding)).”)

I actually remember listening to Bob and Ray-——good times.

Just read your profile.
I grew up in Brighton and went to high school with Walter Schroeder’s sister. (in the late 40s)

I wish Bill Ballou mailed his ballot leaving off Rivera as a protest to the New York sportswriters who block Curt Schilling’s path to the Hall of Fame because Schilling is a Conservative.
As the most effective postseason pitcher in baseball history, Schilling has a more compelling claim than the reliever.
The truth is both players are worthy. It’s the fault of the SJW sportswriters.
Also, what was that smear against Craig Kimbrel about? Kimbrel is baseball’s best reliever since Rivera and has been for a long time.
