Of course, none of us here at FenwayNation ever engage in wagering of any kind. You know that, right? Anyway, eleven very shrewd Red Sox fans who
do engage in games of chance came out
way ahead recently. They all played
some—but not all—of the numbers of retired Red Sox greats. Specifically, all eleven chose to play:
1 (Bobby Doerr);
4 (Joe Cronin);
6 (Johnny Pesky);
8 (Carl Yastrzemski); and
9 (Ted Williams).
Each took home $100,000 from the Lottery when those numbers hit in the October 3rd Numbers drawing. Think how big a jackpot we could all get by playing "1-4-6-8-9-14-27-42"!
