According to Jim Caple, Boston native and ESPN Page 2 writer, the fans at
Fenway are more crude and slightly less knowledgeable about the game then
the fans at Yankee Stadium. Of course that is one man's opinion but I
praise him for his journalistic integrity for being able to see past his
own allegiances. My own HS friends have also echoed that sentiment.
I respect Pedro (would have made a great Yankee when he was the most
dominate pitcher in the game a couple of years ago) and do not think ill of
him when he threw down Don Zimmer; he just defended himself. I also
respect Schilling, because I think he is more geek (like us) then he is
dumb jock. Plus he can pitch!
Tonight will be interesting. Let's see if our over-prices veterans can
beat your over-priced veterans.
