SurferGirl's blog: "Class Act"

So it looks like Mike Lowell will be returning to the World Champion Boston Red Sox for another three years. I am overjoyed at the news. And may I add that I think our Golden Glove winning, All Star, MVP third baseman is a class act. He wanted to stay with the Red Sox and he turned down several 4 year offers to remain with his team. It is also reported that he left up to 20 million dollars on the table to stay where he is loved best. To me, that speaks volumes. That he put heart and love of the game above his bank account. That to him, being in the right place at the right time is more important than being among the highest paid ball players. Mike Lowell, to me, personifies everything that baseball should be. He plays for the love of the game, for the hearts and souls of the fans, for the cameraderie of the team. He is no sell out. My admiration for this man is immense. I am very grateful that we are hanging on to his valuable player. I was so afraid we would lose him.
