This is taking the rivalry too far.
A raging Yankees fan accused of running down a Red Sox fanatic by plowing her car into him after he chanted “Yankees suck” only meant to “scare” him, the accused killer allegedly told police.
Ivonne Hernandez, 43, gunned her car at Matthew Beaudoin, 29, and his friends after an argument spilled out of Slade’s Food & Spirits in Nashua, N.H., early Friday, witnesses and police said.
“She hit him so hard that his head went through the windshield and there was an imprint of his legs in the hood of the car. He didn’t stand a chance,” the victim’s sister, Faith Beaudoin, 27, told the Herald yesterday.
Witnesses said there was a physical confrontation between women outside the bar and Hernandez then got in her car and began driving away when Matthew Beaudoin and his friends spotted a Yankees sticker on her car and began chants of “Yankees suck,” said Beaudoin’s sister and other witnesses.
Hernandez then turned her car around and sped at the group, hitting Beaudoin and injuring a female friend who was standing behind him, authorities said.
Hernandez, of Nashua, was arraigned at Nashua District Court yesterday charged with second-degree murder, aggravated drunken driving and reckless conduct. She was ordered held without bail.
“She never braked, and she accelerated at a high speed for about 200 feet. She went directly at this group of people,” prosecutor Susan Morrell said during the arraignment.
“She indicated to police that she wanted to scare this group of people. She thought they would get out of the way,” Morrell added.
Hernandez was arrested at the scene, and authorities say she acknowledged she had been drinking but refused to take a Breathalyzer test. She admitted arguing with the group, said Morrell.
Faith said her brother, who lived in Nashua, graduated from Nashua High School in 1997 and managed a poker room in Manchester. He was also a big Red Sox and Patriots [team stats] fan, she added.
“I’m angry, hurt, sad and heartbroken. (He was) ... the most kind-hearted, wonderful person you could ever meet,” she said. “I hope she rots in a cold, cold prison cell for the rest of her life and that she sees my brother’s face coming through the windshield.”
Beaudoin died soon after being hit at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington.

If you ever go to a Yankee's - Red Sox game at Fenway and wear your Yankee gear, you better strap in, especially after the game, and more so if the Yankee's get beat. Walking through Kenmore Square to the T after a game with a big white "NY" on you is G-U-A-R-A-N-T-E-E-D to make you a target for the crazies, AND they will react. Some of these whackos can give new meaning to the term "kicked ass". You won't be much safer on the T either.
I hope this woman rots in jail. Don't know the law in NH, but life without parole sounds pretty good. How stupid to toast your life over a damn sticker and some beer talking guys.

and no Boston fan wants to run you over and kill you for saying all that.
<< <i>if you go to a yankee game wearing Sox gear or vice versus you have to expect to get it....same happens here in Cleveland with the Steelers.....you don't wear Browns gear to Pittsburgh unless you are willing to take some abuse and the same here for Steelers fans....... but killing someone is taking it too far >>
Well said.

Fan shot in parking lot area of stadium
LOS ANGELES -- Three people were arrested Saturday in the death of a Los Angeles Dodgers fan who was shot during a stadium parking lot dispute after attending a Dodgers-Giants game, police said.
A police spokeswoman said late Friday that the fight was between feuding fans and that the shooter was rooting for the San Francisco Giants. But police said Saturday they were still investigating the motive and that it was unclear whether baseball was the issue.
Mark Antenorcruz, 25, of Covina, was shot once in the upper body around 10 p.m. as he headed for his car, police and county coroner's Lt. Gary Kellerman said. Antenorcruz was taken to a hospital where he was pronounced dead.
Police spokeswoman Lucy Diaz said Saturday that the victim had been in a shouting match with the three suspects, two men and one woman, and that one of the suspects went to his car, pulled out a handgun and fired.
"Apparently we have multiple suspects who are Giants fans who got into an argument with a Dodger fan," Officer Adriana Sanchez, a police spokeswoman said. "One of the suspects shot the Dodger fan then fled the location."
The 300-acre stadium complex is in the hills north of downtown.
One of Antenorcruz's companions told a passing driver about the shooting and the driver pursued the suspects' vehicle and wrote down its license plate number. Police used it to track down the suspects.
Diaz said it was unclear what charges would be filed.
The National League West champion Giants had just won 6-4 Friday night and people were leaving Dodger Stadium when a group of San Francisco fans jeered Antenorcruz, who may have given a reply.
Neither baseball team commented on the deadly shooting.
The Giants clinched the division on Wednesday. Friday's loss, meantime, dropped the Dodgers three games behind Philadelphia for the N-L wild card slot.
