WHY IT'S A DIRTY JOB, BUT TOM CABRAL DID IT

If I said Tom Cabral to you, what would you say…”Who the hell is that?” Well, not sure if you’re familiar but right around the time the evil Red Sox were on their road to collapse in 2011, Tom Cabral was the guy who proudly wore his New York Yankees shirt and served then Red Sox pitcher Erik Bedard child support papers for a company called Lawgical. Read the story HERE.

Look, I’m not going to lie, when all that stuff went down, I kind of stayed away from it. I mean, I believe in keeping private private and even when Colin Cowherd came up with a phoney report last year about AJ Burnett and his “alleged” problems with his wife, I ripped into him too...read WHY PRIVATE IS PRIVATE. It’s not fair to get involved in someone’s personal matters. That being said, I’m not getting involved in Mr. Bedard’s situation, it’s unfair.
I was however curious about Tom and what the hell he was thinking, so when Lawgical approached me about the ordeal, I decidedto ask Tom a few questions about it. I tried to continue to keep Bedard's private life private and only stick to what was being reported. Take a look:

BYB: Explain the reasoning for wearing the Yankees jersey and delivering the papers to Erik Bedard. Why did you want to do that? Many find that classless.

Tom Cabral: I went to the Red Sox front office because the lawyer and the client requested that it be done that day. They tried to set up a meeting in the parking lot but the timing didn’t work out. I’m a Yankees and and I’ve been a fan my whole life, even though I was raised in Red Sox land. Anyone who knows me knows that I have 20 to 30 Yankee shirts in my closet and almost always have one on. Friends and family were like “You had a Yankees jersey on…so what?”

BYB: What was Bedard’s reaction when you handed him the papers? Did he ask you questions about the Yankee jersey? Did he think it was a joke?

Tom Cabral: Bedard didn’t see the jersey. I had a blue Derek Jeter Spring Training jersey on underneath a hoodie. One of the reporters on the sidelines noticed it. I walked up to him and said something like, “I’m not trying to bust your balls. I’m a Yankees fan but I’m just trying to get a job done.” He responded by telling me it wasn’t a problem and that he and her have been dealing with struggles for a while. He said it was no big deal.

BYB: Having a Yankee fan serve Bedard, was that done out of a request by his wife?

Tom Cabral:It’s not like she wanted a server who was a Yankee fan in Boston, what are the odds of that?

BYB: Do you read Bleeding Yankee Blue?

Tom Cabral: I’ve probably glances at it. I’ve upped my blog reading since Ive been the subject of some entries on those pages. I’ll definitely check it out in the future.
