Park the car in Harvard yard

New England accent is famous. Brad Park had the perfect name to play in Boston.

I’m thinking Steve Garvey should have played in Boston also.

Who else ?

    Jimmy Carson. Another hometown boy of mine. He did get close as he played for Hartford (I think after Detroit)

    Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

    I think(?) I know what this thread is about?......So,...when I was in Junior High School, I had a French teacher from "Baasten" Massachusetts. Beautiful young woman. She ended up getting pregnant by the gym teacher who was an ex- California Angel baseball player. Funny how that works, huh? TOWN SCANDAL!!! Anyway, one day she gave me the keys to her car and asked me to go get it. Yes, in those days people gave their car keys to 14 year old kids. I asked her where the car was. She said, "Iss paacked aroun da caana." ......translation; "It's parked around the corner.". I hope she spoke better French than she did English!....... Whatever...... She was a looker! Toot Sweet! 💃 🤰

    Hey, Mark....so you're from Detroit. You're funny! My Grandma was from Detroit. Actually, born across the river in Windsor....A French Canadian girl.....she spoke bad French and bad English! Anyway, she was a LAUGH RIOT!.....Question; are you people funny by nature?..... I really want to know...... Seriously.

    Ha! I spent half of my childhood in and out of Windsor. When I was a kid the tourist trap T-Shirts at the Detroit airport said the following:

    "Detroit where the strong survive and the weak are eaten".

    When you are from Detroit it's a us against the would mentally. Having a sense of humor and thick skin all very helpful ; )

    Just to help the OP in using the correct vernacular of my beloved New England...born and raised 20 miles from Boston. My accent is long gone, I've lived in Georgia most of my life, but, surprisingly, after a short period of time, maybe 3 or 4 days, I'm back in the groove.

    Park the car in Harvard Yard = Pahk the cah in Havad yahd. We dumped the "r"s long, long ago.

    The word "wicked" is often used to describe the ultimate of something. i.e. it was wicked cold last night. He was wicked crazy. It goes on and on. I have no clue how it originated, but it sure stuck throughout New England.

    I love those Samuel Adams' commercials with the guy from Boston.
