Next up, Curley's desk?

The Globe reports on a Sudbury man who's now spent 10 years trying to find Babe Ruth's old piano in Willis Pond, overlooking which Ruth owned a home when he played for the Sox.

Ed. note: For readers who have just returned from a 20-year trip to Pluto, the Globe thoughtfully adds: "The piano has been elusive -- but not as elusive as the World Series championship that the post-Ruth Red Sox yearned for until 85 years after Ruth was sold to the Yankees. The Red Sox finally won championships in 2004 and 2007."

Patch, which is AOL's latest effort to blow through millions of dollars hyperlocal play, is looking to bust out of its current Tri-State playpen and move into the Boston area, starting with Sudbury. They're looking to hire somebody to compile descriptions of businesses and organizations in Sudbury, which is almost as affluent as Wellesley or Concord, just a lot quieter. Says you can make $400-$1,000 a week for up to six months doing this. They think it's going to take six months to do profiles of every business on Rte.

The blog-hating columnist has company in Lincoln-Sudbury School Superintendent John Ritchie, who warned graduating seniors last night not to "sink to the levels" of dangerous, foul-mouthed bloggers. Ritchie made the admonishment despite admitting that:

I never - believe or not — read any of these blogs and never will. But I have been informed of what is said: the tenor, the tone, the message.
