FIRST PLACE The Red Sox are in first place. I'm 37 years old. I was born and grew up in Marlborough, Massachusetts. For the past 12 years, I've lived in Milan, Italy, 10 of those years with my Italian wife. I haven't truly resided in the New England area since 1986. Where I am, baseball is something you see either in a Kevin Costner film or occasionally played on a converted football field by Italians pretending to be Americans. >>>
