I don’t know the Red Sox players well enough to tell. So who did they put in Jesus’s place and who is in Judas’s place?
I don’t know about Judas, but Jesus is Johnny Damon. He’s been the subject of quite a few Jesus parodies, including takeoffs on the “Jesus is my homey” shirt with his picture and name.
Left to right:
Terry Francona (manager), Curt Schilling, Jason Varitek, David Ortiz, unknown (Alan Embree?), Pedro Martinez, Johnny Damon, Kevin Millar, Derek Lowe, unknown (Mike Timlin?), unknown (Keith Foulke?), Tim Wakefield, Bill Mueller.
its hard to tell some but the people are:
(left to right)
Terry Francona, Schilling, Varitek, David Ortiz (Judas), Ramiriez, Pedro, Damon(Jesus), Millar?, foulke, mueller?, ???(should be bellhorn or cabrera but doesn’t look like either), wakefield, lowe.
There seems to be no reason for Ortiz to be in Judas place, FWiW.
What I don’t get is why they didn’t put Roger Clemens in Judas’s place.
That painting looks mighty tacky to pay $2000 for.
Well, I just emailed that site address to the Red Sox organization and to Major League Baseball. Let’s see how long this site stays up.
Whoever’s responsible for it will be experiencing Hell a little bit early…
I trust you are referring to Judas Iscariot, but Lord knows Clemens wasn’t lured away from the Bosox with thirty pieces of silver…
Matched up to the original painting, David Ortiz is in the Judas slot. He’s holding a bag of silver.
Does Ortiz knock a salt shaker over?
[L to R] Terry Francona, Curt Schilling, Jason Varitek, David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, Pedro Martinez, Johnny Damon, Kevin Millar, Derek Lowe, Trot Nixon, Doug Mirabelli, Tim Wakefield, Bronson Arroyo
I feel pretty confident about all these except for Nixon. That face could be Mark Bellhorn’s, the sunglasses make it hard to tell. But my guess is Nixon, since sun glare is more of an issue for outfielders than it is for infielders.
I think freakstasy has them all correct, except instead of Bronson at the far right, it looks more like Billy Mueller to me.
