| Kapstein |
For years, many Red Sox fans mistook
Jeremy Kapstein—festooned with his clunky yellow headphones—as
Giant Glass owner
Dennis Drinkwater.
Why is anybody's guess. In fact, Kapstein was a senior advisor to the Red Sox for the last 14 years—and was even instrumental in the
Theo Epstein-less trade that brought
Josh Beckett and
Mike Lowell to Boston. So much for loyalty—
his long-time "good buddy" Dave Dombrowski axed him the other day. Dombrowski pulled a
Michael Corleone-
Tom Hagen moment, essentially telling Kapstein,
"You're out, Jerry". Said Kapstein, "
I know nothing lasts forever. I’m disappointed I won’t be with the Red Sox any longer but I’m also very grateful for the time and the many great people I met and worked with in Boston." Regarding his supposed friendship with Dombrowski, he added,
"I have a long, close friendship with Dave Dombrowski that spans many years. I have great respect for Dave both personally and professionally. I know that our friendship is, and will remain, a great bond between us." Uh-huh. Look for Kapstein to emerge in Pawtucket/Providence with his
true friend
Larry Lucchino.
