How Jonny Gomes & the Red Sox Helped Boston Rise After the 2013 Marathon Bombing

On this special Marathon Monday edition, we reflect on the power of tradition, resilience, and baseball in Boston. Tom Caron opens the show with a heartfelt look back at the iconic Patriots’ Day game start, the significance of the Boston Marathon, and the city's strength in the aftermath of the 2013 bombing. That year, Jonny Gomes became a symbol of the city’s spirit as he joins the show alongside Jim Rice to revisit those emotional days. From David Ortiz’s unforgettable speech to Gomes’ pivotal leadoff double in the Red Sox’s first home game after the tragedy, they dive deep into the bond between Boston and its ball club during a time of healing. Later, Alex Speier talks with White Sox pitching coach Ethan Katz about a wave of Massachusetts talent on Chicago’s staff, his time coaching Lucas Giolito, and how Garrett Crochet is evolving into a dominant starter. From pitch design to player development and the future of the fastball, it’s a masterclass in modern pitching.
