News Bobby Valentine Claims to Have Invented 17 New Revolutionary Sandwiches Since Red Sox Firing
"I have 17 — that's right: 17 — new sandwich ingredient delivery systems that are going to absolutely blow people away," says the former manager. "Traditional sandwich bread and even my famed wrap are going to look like foods from the prehistoric age."
Valentine says he won't reveal his sandwich inventions until a planned event on March 30th at his eponymous restaurant in Stamford, Conn. But he was willing to give some hints.
"Cracker sticks infused with condiments. A baked and hollow dough ball. Powdered wheat. Crust forts. Naan-o bites. These are just a few of the many things that will soon become staples of every deli and restaurant in the world," he said. "I am still putting some finishing touches on everything in my lab, but lunch will forever change come March 30th."

July 26, 2012 – 2:00 p.m. – The Palace Hotel in New York City
- John Henry
Okay, you guys requested this meeting to vent some frustrations with Bobby Valentine. Let's hear it.
- Larry Lucchino
First, just one thing we should mention — as men of means, we enjoy fine wines. And it just so happens that me and John had several bottles of a '61 Bordeaux the day we decided to hire Bobby. So, yeah. Our apologies if we messed up. Lesson learned. We won't make future hires while drunk.
- John Henry
Right. I'm with him on that. Now let's hear what you have to say. Adrian, you texted me to schedule this. You start.
- Adrian Gonzalez
Okay. Yeah, I mainly hate everything about Bobby – his personality, his style of managing, and especially his stupid face. I don't know a better way to put it.
- Larry Lucchino
Got it. I can't really disagree with anything you said. Let's keep it going around the table. Jon?
- Jon Lester
I hate Bobby because he kept me in too long when I didn't have my best stuff and I got lit up.
- John Henry
Are you talking about that April game when you gave up seven runs in two innings?
- Jon Lester
No, not that one.
