The Many Faces of Bobby Valentine

The Ledger remembers when Bobby Valentine was a normal guy, managing a mediocre team in Texas.

Then, something strange happened. Paranoia. Quirky managerial moves. Disguises.

No one knows the date or event when it all went awry for Valentine. But it did.

So instead of trying to nail down the psychosis of our subject, I took the easy route: Pictures.

Here’s a chronological visual of the demise of Boston’s ‘train wreck’ of a manager, as he steamrolls the Red Sox off the highest cliff he can find.

Hard to tell who is drunker in this photo, but my money is on Valentine since he showed up to the ballpark to manage in jeans.

Childish Bobby

The wheels on the Sox go flying off, flying off, flying off...
