Ferguson Jenkins Jersey .Although the Boston Red Sox likely will make a low-key acknowledgment of A-Rods prominent role in the age-old rivalry with the New York Yankees at some point during this weeks three-game series, a source said the club isnt planning a farewell ceremony along the lines of those received by Yankees greats Mariano Rivera in 2013 and Derek Jeter in 2014 or by Red Sox icon David Ortiz at ballparks across the majors this season.Rodriguez announced Sunday that he intends to play his final game Friday night at Yankee Stadium. That means his last road games will be at Fenway Park, where the Yankees and Red Sox will open a series Tuesday night.As with most things involving Rodriguez, his history with the Red Sox is complicated. He made his major league debut at Fenway on July 8, 1994, for the Seattle Mariners?in a game that featured an unassisted triple play by Red Sox shortstop John Valentin. He nearly was traded to Boston in December 2003 -- with the Sox working out an agreement to send Manny Ramirez and then-pitching prospect Jon Lester to the Texas Rangers -- but the players union nixed the deal over what reportedly would have been an unprecedented $28 million reduction in Rodriguezs salary.Rodriguez instead wound up in the Bronx and instantly became a Boston villain. He took a mitt to the mug from Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek during a midseason brawl in 2004 and infamously slapped the ball out of pitcher Bronson Arroyos glove to avoid a tag in Game 6 of the 2004 AL Championship Series.In 2013, after announcing he would appeal a 211-game drug suspension, Rodriguez got plunked by Red Sox pitcher Ryan Dempster, then responded by hitting a home run.Its fitting that A-Rods abrupt retirement would encompass one final trip to Fenway Park, but its also doubtful the Red Sox will throw him a party on his way out the door.

The move came as the team neared the end of its third consecutive last-place season in the NL East. KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Manager Mike Scioscia is not ready to acknowledge that his Los Angeles Angels lost on Wednesday night.Scioscia officially protested the Kansas City Royals 7-5 victory, claiming?Raul Mondesi?ran inside the line on a bunt single in the seventh inning, which led to a throwing error and two runners scoring.Scioscia said he is 100 percent certain the protest would be upheld.Its not a judgment call, Scioscia said. I would not have protested if I was not 100 percent correct on this. This is a misinterpretation of a rule. It was very clear. Phil Cuzzi, the home plate umpire, had Mondesi running inside the line in jeopardy the whole way and stated that its OK, because he was stepping back toward the bag, which is wrong.Cuzzi said he couldnt comment because of the pending protest, according to The Orange County Register.Matt Shoemaker, who did not allow a base runner until the fifth inning, yielded singles to Alex Gordon and Paulo Orlando to start the seventh. Mondesi, who was called up Tuesday, put down a bunt and beat the throw to first as the throw by Shoemaker (5-11) ricocheted off Mondesi and sailed into right field.The question wasnt if the throw impeded him or he impeded the throww, Scioscia said.
Prince Fielder Jersey. It wasnt if he was running inside. Its what I believe is his misinterpretation of the rule, given the guidelines that he gave me. Theres no judgement involved. He admitted that [Mondesi] was inside the line. In Phils head, he wasnt in jeopardy, because he was stepping toward the bag, which is wrong. Thats the basis of the protest.Both runners scored, and Mondesi wound up on third. Jarrod Dyson?then rifled a triple to right, scoring Mondesi and making all the runs earned. Dyson scored on Alcides Escobars sacrifice fly.Shoemaker questioned whether he should have thrown to first.A bunt right back to me, he should be out, Shoemaker said. But he was so quick, he was going to be safe anyway. I should have held onto it.After a 6 minute, 15 second review, the call on the field was not changed.Royals manager Ned Yost said there is no way the protest would be upheld.You cant protest a judgmental call, Yost said. Ive never protested a game. Ive never been part of a game that was protested.Information from The Associated Press was used in this report. ' ' '
