SPORTS NEWS:Baseball Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley, left, talks to ‘Late Late Show’ host Craig Ferguson.
Baseball Hall of Famer Dennis Eckersley recently told ‘Late Late Show’ host Craig Ferguson that although he’s remembered in Cooperstown for being an Oakland A’s pitcher, ‘my allegiance is now with Boston.’
Eck, who appeared last night on the pretaped CBS talk show, said why wouldn’t it be? ‘(The fans) treat me wonderfully. That is why I haven’t left. No one cares in Oakland. The passion is in Boston.’
Ferguson, who played the Wilbur Theatre last night, will get a bigger taste of that Boston passion when he hosts the city’s televised Fourth of July festivities on the Esplanade tomorrow. He better put some cheese on it!
