Boston Red Sox baseball legend Rico Petrocelli does his best to help out a local politician by allowing the fans to take Selfies with him after an election campaign rally

Retired Boston Red Sox baseball legend Rico Petrocelli helps out a local politician he’s supporting, Retired Army General Don Bolduc, who’s running for the U.S. Senate as a Republican in New Hampshire. Aside from giving the crowd a testimonial speech on why he’s supporting Bolduc for the U.S. Senate, Petrocelli was also gracious enough to pose for Selfies with anyone who wanted this for a souvenir or whatever. Here we’ve got the retired Red Sox great posing with Yours Truly at a Bolduc campaign rally in Hudson NH VFW facility.

Since the 1967 Boston Red Sox were often referred to as, ‘The Impossible Dream’ team, or some variation thereof, am I like the ONLY one who associates this team with the main theme song from the Broadway play, ‘Man of La Mancha’? Call me a nerd, but whenever I hear the song, ‘The Impossible Dream’, on the radio or whatever, I can’t help but think back to players like: Rico Petrocelli, Jim Lonborg, George Scott, Yaz, etc., and all the others associated with this great ’67 Red Sox squad.

Granite State native Don Bolduc hopes to implement his life-long Army discipline & savvy to serve NH in U.S. Senate

Retired Army Brigadier General Don Bolduc, who’s a Republican candidate for U.S. Senator, was my guest for this episode — my 50th — of ‘Frankly Speaking’. This interview took place in the Access Nashua studio on Aug. 10, 2020.

Among the issues we discussed included: What his opinion was of President Trump’s handling of the Coronavirus? Is the economy on the right track to make a full recovery from the National Pandemic? Should President Trump supersede the Mayors and Governors in major U.S. cities with National Guard troops to remedy the constant Rioting and Looting problems? What his thoughts were on Mr. and Mrs. McCloskey in St. Louis for defending their home when approached by Rioters and then having their guns seized the following day? Was he aware of the reason incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen voted to impeach President Donald Trump from office? With the two major candidates running for President being 70-something, would he be in favor of pushing a Law for a maximum age requirement of running for President? In 2016, there was apparently a Voter Fraud problem regarding Out-of-State college students voting both in New Hampshire, as well as their home States — Has this situation been remedied in the past four years? How does he feel about Mail-in ballots? Do Big Tech companies like, Google, Facebook, and Twitter need to be legally regulated by the government? And, militarily speaking, is China the biggest threat to the United States?

Bolduc is facing a challenge in the Sept. 8th NH Republican Primary election for the U.S. Senate race. If successful, Bolduc will face incumbent Democrat Senator Shaheen in the regular election on Tuesday, Nov. 3rd.
