Walpole Joe
Name given to laconic local favorite Joe Morgan manager of the Red Sox from 1988-91. Immediately after taking the helm from fired (disgraced?) John McNamara – the team went on a 12 game winning streak known as Morgan Magic. (aka: Turnpike Joe for his off-season work ploughing snow on the Mass Pike)
Press: Joe, any opinion on the game tonight? Joe: Six, two and even. Any more questions?
