Yes, Boston area fans have been bragging about their team's championships in recent years.

Dam - I wish I could be able to do that. LOL

VitoCo1972 · July 11, 2008 2:21AM

Sorry Hyperion. Our apologies for not being neurotic messes like we were for 86 years. Look, maybe if you had to worry about following your father and grandfather into the ground without seeing one, you'd have reveled in the titles a little longer too. This is my dad's gravestone. Glad I don't know what it's going to say on mine yet. Get a life.

ctsoxfan · July 11, 2008 2:40AM

Wow Vito - too bad he never got to enjoy this time in Sox history. That just goes to show you how diehard Sox fans have been. I have been a Sox fan since the '75 series - so you can imagine all the crap I have had to go through. 1978. 1986. Great teams in the 1990's not being able to topple the Yankees. 2003 where Giambi's steriod juiced HR's deprived the Sox of their rightful place in the World Series. It goes on and on.

Through it all, I have been a fan. I hardly think Boston fans are "ignorant" either. Many people will tell you that some of the smartest and most knowledgeable fans follow Red Sox baseball. Sure there are bandwagon fans as of late, there always will be when a team is on top. But if you don't think we lifelong fans deserve to be a bit proud after all of this time, tough sh-t.

perkdog · July 11, 2008 2:47AM

Hyperion is famous for being a jealous whiner of not only the Red Sox but the Patriots succes as well. He will soon be breathing fire about the Celtics too. He only wishes his teams were as succesfull.

Goot, Im not sure there are a bunch of "Bandwagon" fans honestly- Sox fans have lived and dyed through their pathetic pre 2004 teams for years, heartbroken every single year and we all at one point or another have made the good old "Im done with them after that" saying only to wear our hearts on our sleeves the next season yet again

Braves fans are the very definition of bandwagon. They run off what, 14 division titles in a row, and can't even sell out their playoff games.

I don't understand why you get so defensive about your fanbase. As long as you know you're a true fan, then you shouldn't give a crap. As for Atlanta, I know the playoff thing is bad, but it's also a bit harder to sell out a stadium that isn't viewed as a historic monument and that seats 15,000 more than Fenway.

I grew up in Buffalo. This is Yankee territory. Being ornery and contrary, I quickly zeroed in on the Red Sox around 1955. I used to pick up a station out of Hartford at night and listen to Curt Gowdy do the play by play. I listened to all of the Red Sox - Indian games and the Red Sox - Yankee games. I wouild make a detour to the drugstore on my way to school to get the paper. After expansion, I had to wait until after school to find out how the Sox had done & read the box scores [of course, I got a subscription to The Sporting News for Christmas]
As for football, NY Giant territory. Was I a Cleveland Browns fan? Absolutely! It did help that they got a decent running back from Syracuse along about 1957. Naturally, I also started rooting for the Bills in 1960. [I wore Mike Stratton's #58 at both high schools I attended.] After Brown retired, I kept a soft spot for the Browns in my heart until they no longer exosted, but the Bills became my main focus.
Being on the Canadian border, hockey is in your blood just as if you were a Canadian.
The heartbreak of being a Sox fan has been well documented. 4 consecutive Super Bowls and no championship. The team will never get the respect they deserve [like Tarkenton's Viking's]. Buffalonians truly live and die with their Bills.
Despite some very talented teams, it's been 40 years and just 2 Stanley Cup finals. They were both classics and we lost both.

It has been a tough life, but the net result is that I have a tremendous amount of character :-)) [ot, to those who know me, just a character!] I am guilt free about LIVING LARGE as a Red Sox fan at the moment!!!!! The feelings after a win or a loss are no different than they have been for 55 years. It's just that there are more days that bring joy than there are days of sorrow.

It's easy to root for a winner. Like many people with new money, these folks can be obnoxious beyond belief. Our only hope is that they get bored and fade away.

My apologies for the ramble, but I feel much better.

I hope to see many of you at the National. Booth 1538

I was pulling for the Sabres for your guys a couple years ago. And just think what would have happened if you had Viniteri instead of Norwood in 1990. Friggin Giants were handed that one on a silver platter.

TheVon · July 11, 2008 7:10AM

I gotta back Goot on this one. I can imagine that most Red Sox fans living in New England are true Red Sox fans (though isn't there a raging debate about whether or not those ladies wearing the pink hats at Fenway can be considered real fans?). However, here in California I started seeing a huge increase in people wearing Red Sox gear after 2004. It used to be that I would see someone wearing Sox stuff and I'd strike up a conversation with them and we'd commiserate. Now, I'd say that easily 75% of the people I do this with are bandwagon jumpers, or just as bad, they just wear the hat because they want to look cool or be associated with a winning team. I bet most of these jackanapes can't name anybody on the team beyond Big Papi, Manny, and Curt Schilling. Maybe it's just anecdotal evidence, but I definitely agree that winning a couple championships has artifically swollen the ranks of Red Sox Nation.

VitoCo1972 · July 11, 2008 8:06AM

At least in SoCal, and I have to imagine other places, there are SO MANY transplanted Bostonians that you will always see gear and loud fans at opponents stadiums. Heck, even in the Celtics mediocre to bad years, you would always see gear and such when you went to Celtics/Lakers and Clippers games. I never miss a game when any one of my hometown teams come out here.

I mean, yes, I'm originally from Walpole, MA. I lived there until I was 24, but it's 2008. People move around for work. It's the just way it is. How can you hate on me for staying attached to what I was raised on?

Bottom9th · July 11, 2008 8:15AM

I was born in NY, but grew up a Reds fan (Johnny Bench was my idol). When I was young and stupid I actually thought of the Yankees as my 2nd favorite team. (My son hates to hear me admit that, but I was born again)
I got my Dad hooked on baseball in the late 70's and he loved watching Yaz and the Sox on WSBK. He converted me to a full fledged Sox fan in '78 just in time to have Bucky F'ing Dent ruin my world.
I moved to the Tampa Bay area in 1985 and there was no baseball. Then the Rays came to town. I will admit I rooted for them, except when they play the Sox. I get a kick out of people here saying I should be a Rays fan and cut my allegiance. Sorry, not going to happen. My youngest son was been raised on the Sox and had his share of heartache, primarily 2003. My Dad passed away in 2005 but not before seeing the Sox win it all. I am eternally grateful that he got to see it. He may not have lived and breathed the Sox like a lot of us do, but he suffered too. I still remember being on the phone with him in '86, it was brutal.
I can't imagine what Vito's Dad and countless other families went through for them to lose someone before the Sox won the Series. It was really touching to see photos from the cemeteries in the Boston area after the WS and see all the notes and pennants placed on the headstones.
Anyway, I am not making any excuses who I root for and I don't care who is jealous or doesn't like it. Sure our team has had great success recently but we all know it won't last forever. I am enjoying every minute of it.

Bob....

Enjoy the time Sox fans! Just be careful as you guys are in un charted territory. The large percentage of you used to lambast other fans .... and mainly Yankee fans for having the gall to remember something from five, ten, twenty, etc years ago. If the Sox don't win for another ten or twenty years don't be shocked when y'all are called out for "living in the past" for having the balls to reflect proudly on those times ....... Then your reaction is SCREW THAT, THOSE WERE SOME FUN F'ING TIMES.

Take MCMLVTopps for example. This Red Sox "fan" does not tolerate a Yankee fan for having the balls to remember a run which BLOWS AWAY what the Red Sox have done lately. And it happened in JUST in the last decade really. What would a Red Sox faithful be like having won FOUR World Series in FIVE years? THREE of them in a ROW?

Enjo it Sox fans ..... really, I mean it! Just remember though! Success gets OLD really really quick to those who don't have a clue. Y'all have a clue now .... I bet Sox fans are better because of it.

You totally misunderstood everything I said.

I'm not questioning those people's fanhoods that have grown up with the team or have close ties to the area. I'm questioning the kids that I know that have NO connection to Boston at all, that recently started liking the Sox or Red Sox fans that I hear at Rays games having no idea what they're talking about. I understand that there are a ton of transplants all around (I live in freakin Florida for God's sake), but my main question is where were those 15,000 "transplants" in 2003 for the games against the Rays? The attendance of all Rays vs. Sox home games pretty much doubled and we all know that it wasn't to see the Rays.

I hope you all know that I'm not hating on the Sox. It's just the the nature of the beast. You get good and people start to show up, I understand and I'm seeing it first hand with the Rays and have seen it with pretty much all Florida sports teams (that's the only thing I don't like about this state). I've also watched most of Wakefield's starts and Wake, along with Manny (something I like about the guy), keep me from disliking the Beantown boys.

Bill Simmons always pointed this out even before the 2004 WS. Much more success than the Cubs or White Sox.

Plus, Sox fans got to enjoy great players such as Ted Williams, Jim Rice, Fred Lynn, Yaz (last Triple Crown), pre-steroid Clemens, Pedro in his prime, Nomah in his prime and countless others. And the 1975 World Series is still touted as the greatest ever most often.

Hoopster · July 26, 2008 3:16AM

ALLLLLLL teams that have multiple success have a severe increase in bandwagon jumpers who really don't know much about the game, or the team previous to said success.

I remember many youngsters walking around with Denver Bronco jackets in 1999, and that was in Illinois. Previous to that, I don't think I ever saw anybody wear a Denver Bronco garment in the history of Illinois.

The true Red Sox fans, like some of the regular Red Sox posters on here, deserve to sing the praises of their team's success. They have put enough of their emotion into the previous teams that they earned the right to express some their joy loudly.

That is my take. Congrats to Red Sox fans. That is the most interesting franchise in baseball history in my opinion.

Estil · August 7, 2008 8:47PM

<< Yes, Boston area fans have been bragging about their team's championships in recent years.

Dam - I wish I could be able to do that. LOL >>

Well, you got your wish this year. How does it feel to wear your Phillies cap with pride?

It's still quite early but the Bruins look very strong this year.
That brings even another team into the mix.

The players on the Boston teams are fine. Generally, they're from all over the world.

The fans of the Boston teams are the problem -- they're pathetic. However, since Bostonians are necessarily the product of in-breeding -- ya know, that whole "original colonies thing", where everybody married their blood relatives -- we've gotta give 'em a break. It's not really their fault that they turned out like they did -- they're kinda victims of circumstance.

I forgot about the village idiot

Where have you been? I enjoy you popping in and showing us how jealous you are of Boston teams! Just because Bostonians dont have a man crush on George Brett doesnt mean we are in bred!

Come around some more please so we can enjoy you frothing at the mouth about how jealous that we beat your Cardinals in the World Series, seriously it was a mis-match from the start even your lover Brett George couldnt have helped them!

I liked it better when Boston was pathetic
