This morning’s Boston Marathon will have a Red Sox feel to it, courtesy of former pitcher Ryan Dempster.
Nearly ten years to the day that Dempster started and won for the Red Sox during an emotional Patriot’s Day, Dempster is competing in a different way. He’s running the marathon a decade after the horrific marathon bombing which happened during his lone season with Boston.
The events of that day won’t be lost on the 16-year MLB veteran.
