The Boston Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox have renewed my faith in baseball! I grew up an Atlanta Braves fan and I still love them dearly. However, I became a Red Sox fan when they acquired my man John Smoltz. I fell in love with him, his character, during my first trip to Turner Field in 1998. I watched him participate in a game of catch with other players on the field during batting practice. 500 dollars a ball was some stipulation to the game. It wasn't really the game he was playing, it was the look on his face...he loved what he was doing. He loves baseball. So, the Red Sox earned me as a fan when they made the smart decision to take on the greatness that is John Smoltz. I spent the months before the season started learning the names of the players and their positions, as well as, the backups. Never, have I loved baseball so much!

The Boston Red Sox are a great establishment. The history and lure of Fenway Park is amazing. AND Boston fans are the greatest! Each player on the team plays hard and makes any game, whether the Sox are winning or losing, worth my time to watch. Dustin Pedroia is always going to get dirty because he plays hard EVERY game and has a desire to help the team win. I <3 Dustin and Jacoby!!! Is Jonathan Papelbon the best closer you have ever seen or what? AMAZING...ALL OF THEM!!!

We recently attended the Braves--Red Sox game at Turner Field. I was so excited I felt like a kid at Christmas. It was wonderful to be able to watch my beloved SOX play. It was even better to be a part of the throng cheering "Let's go RED SOX! and that the throng included my six year old son!!! No Brave fan could be heard over us! The thrill and love of baseball has been restored in my life due to the Boston Red SOX. I am a "newbie" SOX fan, but that doesn't diminish my love for the team or the game.

The RED SOX are great, Fenway Park is amazing, Red SOX baseball is on my T.V.!

Let's go RED SOX!
