"Tom Gordon was Trisha's and her Dad's favorite Red Sox player. Tom Gordon was the Red Sox closer; he came on in the eighth or ninth inning when the game was close but the Sox were still on top. Her Dad admired Gordon because he never seemed to lose his nerve—'Flash has got icewater in his veins,' Larry McFarland liked to say—and Trisha always said the same thing, sometimes adding that she liked Gordon because he had the guts to throw a curve on a three-and-oh (this was something her father had read to her in a Boston Globe column.)" - Stephen King in The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon (1999)
