Here are some fun facts so you can get to know the newest member of Red Sox Nation...

- He has an old-timey windup that hasn't been seen since the deadball era

- He is nicknamed "Frasier" because he resembles Kelsey Grammer

- His father is named Larry Byrd

- He was accused of using HGH and was named in the Mitchell Report

- He used to be a substitute teacher

- He has had Tommy John Surgery

- In his autobiography "Free Byrd", Byrd revealed that he is a devout Christian, addicted to pornography, and likes to see his teammates fail

I guess things were getting boring around the clubhouse with Manny gone.
