I went to the game Friday night with my (one) Red Sox fan friend. He wore a Red Sox hat. And there were plenty of guys there with Red Sox jersies.
We talked about the different attitudes of the fans. Yankees fans will boo a Red Sox fan, make fun of him, and talk about he and his friends will do to his girlfriend (who is probably with him). But they rarely get violent. And this is my friend's thought: What's the point? How angry at Sox fans could Yankees fans be? Those 5 years of being second to Boston haven't really had much effect yet.
In Boston, if you wear a Yankees jersey, you're looking for trouble. And you will most likely get it. Two stories:
1. At a playoffs game, I was sitting in the bleachers at the stadium. There was a guy there with a loud-mouth, female sox fan. He was not a sox fan. This woman would not shut up. She had a huge sign that said something stupid. Someone took it away from her and ripped it up in her face. She got louder. Someone called her an idiot and, get this, she said, "Fuck you, I'm in law school!" Her friend told her to sit down and shut up, but it was too late. He had to take her out of there when the beers started flying.
2. I went to the one playoff game that the Yankees lost to Boston in '99 (I think)--it was the Clemens/Pedro game where Pedro struck out roughly 28 of our guys and Clemens gave up roughly 18 runs and was booed off the mound. Early on, some Yankees fan, in a jersey was simply walking to his seat and on the way, he was pushed several times, his hat was stolen, he got drenched with 6 beers and someone hit him in the head with half a hot dog. The cops came over
and escorted HIM out.
