Bostonherald.com - Growing up in the Long Island, N.Y., town of Glen Cove, Craig Hansen had access to concerts at the nearby Nassau Coliseum, the Jones Beach theater and legendary Madison Square Garden. Yet to this day, the 24-year-old Red Sox [ team stats] relief pitcher has never been to a concert - unless you count Hot Stove, Cool Music, the local music series benefiting Sox-affiliated charities. “That’s the only thing I’ve ever been to,” Hansen admitted.

Craig Hansen has never been to a concert?   That’s impossible!   Seriously I’ve never heard of such a thing.   Even deaf people have been to at least one concert before just to say they went.   But let’s assume that Hansen is telling the truth here.   This totally explains why he always folds in the clutch.  He’s just not experienced enough at life to handle pressure situations.   I mean I wouldn’t trust a guy who has never been to a concert to carry my groceries, never mind pitch for the Red Sox. So forget about sending Hanson to Pawtucket next time he gets demoted.  Theo should have him be a roadie for Pearl Jam or something.  Get some mental toughness in this kid for god sakes.
