Abe Alvarez News

Abe Alvarez, a Miller High School graduate, of the Boston Red Sox pitches against the New York Yankees during their preseason game in March 2005 at City of Palms Park in Fort Myers, Florida.

In 2004, when the Red Sox charged to the playoffs and, eventually, a World Series title, the starting rotation was intact: Pedro Martinez 33 starts, Derek Lowe 33, Curt Schilling 32, Time Wakefield 30, Bronson Arroyo 29.
