Rod Beck, an All-Star relief pitcher who played for the Red Sox for three seasons and wore a bushy mustache while earning 286 career saves, has died. (AP) *** A mustache. Imagine that. *** |

If that's the lede, why does it highlight his few years with the Red Sox, for whom he earned but nine of his 286 saves? |

I think that lede was adjusted by a newspaper in the Red Sox sphere of influence. |

Oops---my mistake about the Boston focus being in the wire copy. I must have confused what I saw here with what I had seen in the morning paper. The mustache was in the lead, of course. |
