I'm finally getting around to unpacking my suitcases from my Christmas trip home. Among the many presents I recieved are two small round tins of gumballs, with a Red Sox theme. One of them has a picture of Jason Varitek on the cover, and the other one has Johnny Damon. Interestingly, somewhere on the journey home, the Johnny Damon tin came open and all the gumballs fell out all over my suitcase. The Jason Varitek container, on the other hand, did NOT sell out for $12 million and defect to a hated rival, disappointing millions of loyal fans.
