My brother attended the NASCAR race in Phoenix last weekend and ran into former closer Keith Foulke. Foulke told him he was rooting for the Red Sox in the playoffs and hoped they would win it again next year. He will always be loved by Sox fans for his help in the 2004 playoffs. Foulke retired in February after he felt elbow pain from a throwing session. NASCAR is getting more of a following from Red Sox Nation, especially with the new Roush-Fenway team and the #99 Red Sox car. Last year I ran into Johnny Pesky at the fall New Hampshire race.
