Fandom Gone Too Far?

I am a person that loves watching sports and I certainly miss participating as much as I did in high school and college.

I am a die-hard New York Yankees fan living in Massachusetts and I will never root for the Boston Red Sox.  It's the truth.

Whenever I wear my Yankees gear in Worcester or even in Boston, I get "the look" from time to time, but I have yet to have anyone say anything directly to me, except for that time back in '98 when I wore all my Yankees gear and sat in the bleachers at Fenway.  It was interesting and I had alot of fun tormenting a few good-hearted Red Sox fans as the Yankees were beating the snot out of the Red Sox.

Now, when Red Sox fans wear their Boston Red Sox gear in New York City, I doubt anyone will comment or even give them a second look.  It is New York City, afterall, with 8.4 million people living there.

So, when I saw this video of a Boston Red Sox fan being escorted out of Yankee Stadium, I laughed but that quickly changed because I realize that she was trying to "look out" for her friend and the police officer got irritated and went from a 4 to a 10 too quickly.

Does the woman who was arrested have a case or will she be charged with assaulting an officer and resisting arrest? Or does the lady now have a good story to "brag about" to her family and friends about  being kicked out of Yankee Stadium?

Opening Day: MAJOR League Baseball

What many of you may not know about me is that I'm a die-hard NY Yankees fan who has been a Yankees fan for over 30-years.

Yes, I'm the kind of fan that wears every piece of Yankees gear that I own, buys a bleacher-seat ticket at Fenway Ballpark and goes at it with the Red Sox fans throughout the game. (I do like living on the edge.)

Well, look who's teamed up for a MLB partnership deal? It appears that Beats by Dre. is teaming with the Boston Red Sox and are releasing some very expensive headphones--to the tune of $400.

Dr. Dre, of the famed group N.W.A. and the producer of beats provided to the likes of Emimem, Fifty Cent and The Game has been hawking his expensive headphones with Interscope Geffen A&M chairman Jimmy Iovine.

Iovine spoke about the partnership by saying, “The Red Sox are one of the most historic and respected franchises in all of professional sports,” Iovine said about why he decided to run with the Sox as the first and right now only set of Beats sports headphones.

Suffice it to say that the headphones are too expensive for my taste and even though I've heard nothing but great things about the headphones, I wouldn't be caught with a pair in Boston, much less New York City.
