Republican Ken Johnson, an ardent Red Sox fan, got a call this week from his brother.
His brother was quite excited because, he told the prospective mayor, he'd come up with two tickets to the opening game of the World Series at Fenway tonight.
And guess who he invited along?
Yes, that's right, Ken Johnson.
But the GOP standard bearer here in Bristol said he couldn't go.
Instead, he'll be at the mayoral forum at the Little League complex starting at 7 p.m. tonight, squaring off with Democrat Art Ward instead of staring at the Green Monster with his brother.
Now that's dedication. Or something.
I'll be at the forum, too, and plan to do some live blogging there. Tune in this evening to see whether Ken Johnson made the right call.

Johnson should go - after all same questions same answers as Monday night!
Betcha they wish the National League won the All Star Game this year.
National League is the Republican Party.
Such poor judgement. Bristol would have understood. The "debate" was at the Little League complex, after all.
Even Art wouldn't have taken a shot at Johnson for punting the debate for the World Series.
Bad call, Ken.
