Red Sox Salute To Pats Low On Star Power



A classy move, no question, but the Red Sox TV spot congratulating the Patriots on their Super Bowl victory isn't gonna win any awards for production value, or for big name glitz . Pitcher Tim Wakefield and manager Terry Francona are the only persons shown offering their best wishes. Was Nomar "how about those Patriots?" Garciaparra unavailable, or was it too awkward to ask? The sentiment is nice enough but the ad would have greater resonance had the Red Sox picked a spokesperson or several who are more identified with the club's history than a guy who has yet to manage a game in Boston.

But maybe they couldn't find Bob Stanley's phone number.
