BOSTON — About two years ago, Father Joe Quinn became one of about 100 people in the world to be diagnosed with a rare incurable condition that he said left him with the possibility of "saying goodbye to life."
Unable to take narcotics, the Franciscan friar was in "excruciating pain" until he found a medicine that he said helps him cope with the pain and lead a productive life in the face of his diagnosis.
BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox canceled a David Ortiz bobblehead promotion Tuesday night when the figurine turned out to be "racially insensitive," said team president Sam Kennedy.
The bobblehead depicts Ortiz addressing fans at Fenway Park following the Boston Marathon bombings, but Kennedy said it didn't much resemble the retiring slugger and was not fit for distribution.
