When
Julian Tavarez learned that the Red Sox left him off their playoff roster last fall, he had
a pretty funny response: "That's OK. As long as we get the ring and the big check." In hindsight, it seems he didn't care about the ring very much at all.
Red Sox Monster found this anecdote in
The Capital Times:
Julian Tavarez didn't pitch in the postseason for the Boston Red Sox last season, but for being on the regular season roster, he has a World Series ring.
Somewhere.
It seems the newest member of the Milwaukee Brewers left the $20,000 prize in his locker when the Red Sox designated him for assignment, then released him earlier this month.
"They're going to mail it to me, I'm sure," Tavarez said.
Um, Julian? You might want to check on that. Leaving a $20,000 World Series ring laying around isn't the same as forgetting a couple of shirts at the dry cleaner for a month. If you don't watch out, your ring just might end up paying college tuition for some lucky ballboy.
