Tim Wakefield was a gentleman. He reinvented himself as a ballplayer more than once & became one of the players that broke the curse. He set an example for us all & I’m grateful that he and his family made MA their home. RIP Tim, we won’t see another like you for a long time. 🙏

Just about 34 years ago today, I met Lauren Baker. And exactly 31 years ago today I was lucky enough to marry her. Everyone - and I mean everyone - says I married up. And I agree. The laughter, love and kindness that comes from time spent with Lauren is beyond compare. ❤️

As governor, our administration played a crucial role in bringing this game to Gillette. It's a full circle moment for me, and I take pride in witnessing the impact of our collaborative efforts to support student-athletes and our military.

Paraphrasing here, but JFK once said something like, “...We choose to do things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard...” This nation’s aspirations have always been hard. They still are, but they remain a challenge most of us accept & that is good. Enjoy the 4th.

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. RBG was a force of nature and a role model for so many women and all Americans. Her friendship with the late Antonin Scalia spoke volumes about her ability to separate the person from the politics.
