Interesting timing for the release / promotion of this video through official team channels. And a brief wag of my finger to Blister Boy for bowling with the pitching hand (despite a vow not to).
But this video contains one thing I definitely never expected to see: Josh Beckett on the verge of tears.
Also, the little girl FLINGING the ball down the lane at about 1:44? Absolutely priceless.
Holy moley! I almost teared up watching this. First: I totally want to be Maggie in this video. How lucky is she rubbing elbows with Beckett all night? Secondly, I would have never expected to see Beckett so comfortable with kids. It's such a difference from his on-field personality. Thanks for sharing the video!

Another awesome moment: giving a jersey order for Pedey, then Lester and Kalish(?) while pointing to each one of them, "I'm gonna need a small? And two XLs?"

Yeah, I just about died at that part too. Who knew Beckett has such a wicked sense of humor? :-)
