Red Sox starter Erik Bedard was served legal papers seeking increased child support by a process server wearing a Yankees shirt before his start against the Orioles on Tuesday night. Bedard, who was making his first start since Sept. 3 because of a sore left knee, lasted just eight outs in the game. After the game, he said his unexpected pregame visit was not a distraction. "If you play a sport you have to put all that stuff aside," Bedard said. "If you let outside distractions get to you, you can't focus out there." According to the New York Post, the person serving Bedard the papers, lifelong Yankees fan Tom Cabral, wasn't trying to rattle the Red Sox lefty. "When I walked in I was like, 'I'm a Yankees fan, but I'm not trying to (give you a hard time),'" he told the Post. "I told him that and said, 'Sorry, I've got to do this.' But he said it was no problem. I handed him the copies of all the documents, and he signed them." According to multiple media reports, the legal papers were requesting an increase in child support for Bedard's 5-year-old daughter.
