Where else but Boston, would a bullpen cop become a folk hero? Boston Police Officer
Steve Horgan achieved that status by his reaction to
David Ortiz's epic Game Two ALCS grand slam in 2013. As Ortiz's buddy
Torii Hunter tumbled into the Sox bullpen, Horgan raised both arms in triumph. The rest is hardball history. Now, we hear that
Horgan will retire after this season, giving up one of the best gigs of
any type in the City of Boston. He says he will miss his duties, but he looks forward to spending more time on
another love of his—cooking. And, given his star status, he might even consider a cooking show on local TV.
Best of luck, Officer Horgan, in whatever you pursue!
