He would look to see if the Yanks won that night or day before and talk trash. But he never could say who they beat or their record. When I asked him if Lou Gherig would win out the second base job in Spring Training this year over Thurmon Munson he yelled, in a sports bar for everyone to hear, that Lou would be the greatest second baseman to ever play the game. Better than A. Rod. People who knew just laughed and rolled their eyes.<br />Classic.Bay Rat North Westhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00635008291445053273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647945990046303424.post-89206625064999555612009-04-29T12:15:00.000-04:002009-04-29T12:15:00.000-04:00Red Sox fans are like that here too, but they are ...Red Sox fans are like that here too, but they are still under a "grace period" in my eyes, since they were soooo awful for soooo long.

In Cleveland it gets bad with the Yankees and the Red Sox.<br /><br />Curiously, the Red Sox fans that I've encountered are 100 times worse. Here is my theory on that. Most of the Yankees fans are middle aged and have some sort of connection to NY, making them legitimate fans. If they are in Cleveland, they are usually past the age where they are annoying A-holes.<br /><br />The Red Sox fans (I am convinced) are made up mostly of douchebag Cleveland 20 somethings that became huge Sox fans (right around 2004) because their favorite uncle lives in Providence or some such stupid shit. They exhibit all of the deplorable behaior that you have described. They usually are dragging along some tramp in a pink Ortiz jersey. Most could not find Boston on a map.<br /><br />That's not to say I don't hate Yankees fans.Motherscratcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13897795675799572040noreply@blogger.com
