With Red Sox pitching ace Chris Sale scheduled to pitch at Hadlock Field on Tuesday, we went back to the Sea Dog archives to see what other Red Sox stars have come to Portland for rehabilitation stints. Basically, when a player returns to play after being injured or after surgery, the Red Sox will send a player to Portland to get them back in the groove. This gives the fans a rare opportunity to see a mega-star right here in Portland. And we've seen some massive Sox stars over the years.

Now, this is pretty cool. The Red Sox are giving you a chance to get your picture and a message on the giant John Hancock Centerfield Scoreboard at Fenway Park. This is the very first time the 40 x 100-foot behemoth of a video board has ever been used for fan messages. It's once in a lifetime and you can be sure this deal with go away if and when the Sox start playing baseball again.
