Soul reason? English much?

Yup, there are more pink Red Sox hats than all the other teams combined. As a Rays fan I have to go to games at the Trop half filled with “Sox” fans who you can tell have no idea about the team. I know and respect alot of real Sox fans, but they are quickly becoming outnumbered.

Or the original “Louuuuuuu!” (Merloni) before there was “Yoooooouk!”? Or Way Back Wasdin? Or the whole Uugeth Urbina life story, accurately documented through police reports? Or how the 1999 All-Star game will never be matched. And who the fuck was that woman PA announcer? Or more recently, the infamous Derek Lowe Suck It? The BK Kim Finger? EL GUAPO!!!!!!!

Yes. This one is for Brian Daubach (who my buddy Matys still represents), Jeff Frye, Damon Buford, John Valentin, Bret Saberhagen, Jose Offerman and many more.

Ah fuck I’m just adding to their checklist. Hmm I guess we’ll never be able to distinguish us from them.

So…is this about knowing that Oil Can Boyd used to speak in the third person? Or that Mo Vaughn was pre-Manny Being Manny?

I could ask, “What’s the criteria?” But then doesn’t that give bandwagoners their checklist of things to know?

See on that part I completely disagree 100%. The Patriots have a unique fanbase, and the Celtics have an even more exclusive fanbase. The Sox are 200% greater than both those teams combined. I would rank the Celtics as my #1 favorite team in this city I live in, while others couldn’t name the C’s starting five. Nobody joined the Pats and C’s bandwagon en route to their first respective championships (I’m speaking prematurely for the C’s) and I hope it doesn’t stay that way. The Pats are hated because of SpyGate (understood) and the C’s are just neutral.

I sir agree with you, but it just doesn’t seem to affect the Red Sox. It seems to be a Boston deal. I mean everyone was a New England fan after their first superbowl, everyone now is a Celtics fan after their first championship in years.
