Toucher & Rich With Mazz: John Henry's Visit To The Hub

On Friday afternoon John Henry, principal owner of the Boston Red Sox, stopped by The Sports Hub studio unannounced after hearing Felger & Massarotti as Henry put it "misleading the public." The visit led to an unplanned interview that lasted over an hour and cover everything from Terry Francona's exit to the collapse of the Sox in September.

Toucher & Rich spoke with Tony Massarotti this morning to get all the details on how things went down.

First off the guys wanted to know how they were alerted that John Henry wanted to come on the show.

"Rick Radzik the assistant program director, as you know, came in and I don't remember if I was in the middle of a sentence, but he pulled Mike aside and then waved me over and told us that Henry had just pulled in and wanted to come on the air. By then I think we were in a break. So obviously about 30 second later John Henry walked into the studio and that was it," Massarotti said.

During the interview there came a point where they needed take a commercial break. What if anything did Henry say to them?

"Well we had it out a little bit only because I think at one point he said to me something along the lines of, you've been hammering me what's the problem? There is some history there, I covered the Red Sox for a long time, as you guys know. We had our disagreements over the years not just me and him, but me and other people in the organization, it happens. He still thinks I'm harboring a grudge from something that happened 8 years ago, I'm not," Massarotti said.

They also went on to discuss Bob Hohler's article in the Boston Globe about Terry Francona. All this and so much more with Tony Massarotti.
