They say you can tell a person's true obsessions by looking at the people they follow on TWITTER. This morning, in a masterful example of investigative journalism, WEEI's Gerry Callahan (of the Dennis & Callahan Morning Show), simply looked at the 13 accounts Red Sox principal owner John Henry follows. Suffice it so say, it's enlightening. Here are the Big Thirteen that John Henry feels obligated to follow:
1.) Simon Steers @sisteers—Professional communicator & fanatical Liverpool fan. Write for @ThisIsAnfield & @Paul_Tomkins. All views mine.
