The Boston Red Sox, one of the most storied franchises in all of professional sports, are without a manager.

We cannot, certainly were must not, let this job opening remain unfilled for long. After all, what kind of fans would we be if we let the team we love -- cherish even -- continue flounder with no leader in place.

While candidates for the position may come out of the woodwork, we believe that the Town of Tewksbury has plenty of candidates that would do an awesome job. Maybe it’s an employee at Town Hall. Maybe a teacher in the school system or a local business owner.  Maybe your spouse or your neighbor or someone you work with or go to school with.

So you tell us -- which Tewksbury resident should be the net manager of the Boston Red Sox and why?
