FORT MYERS, Fla. - This will be a landmark year in the history of the Boston Red Sox with the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park, major changes with staff including a new general manager, field manager, pitching coach and base coaches. And there is the new JetBlue Park, player development center and spring training home. When fans see this place they will be blown away with this beautiful facility. Young people overuse the word "awesome" but truthfully this place is totally awesome! Critics who say the system overpays and pampers professional ballplayers have a point sometimes, but in this case the fans are pampered as well by the park.

HOLYOKE - When Doug Sattler decided to play high school hockey before his junior year, the South Hadley forward didn't even consider the possibility of 100 career points. When he entered this season needing 57 points, it became even less likely in his mind. But with Sattler's overwhelming talent and that of his teammates, the milestone became reality on Wednesday's senior night. In just his 40th career varsity game, Sattler reached and surpassed the 100-point mark in the Tigers' 12-1 romp of Chicopee Comp at Fitzpatrick Rink in Holyoke.
