The incredibly long-faced presidential candidate made an appearance at Fenway Park the other night to show what a regular guy he is, which was a challenge with a zillionaire at his side.

John Kerry fooled half the crowd. The other half booed.

Kerry bounced the ceremonial first pitch to the catcher, which either was a sign of a sore arm or no pitching arm at all.

In terms of public relations gaffes, Kerry's feeble toss almost was in the ballpark of Michael Dukakis in a helmet atop a tank in 1988.

It is not just Kerry being unable to keep his opening pitch straight. He can't keep the Red Sox straight either.

He recently merged Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz into "Manny Ortiz," which probably came as a shock to both families. You could argue Kerry deserved partial baseball credit.

Credible or not, Kerry is sticking to his story of being an honorary member of the Red Sox fan club.

"I've got to win New York, but I do want the Red Sox to win," he said.

Hillary Clinton, a diehard supporter of both the Cubs and Yankees, is there to help with New York.

Baseball is no small connection to the common man.
