A Red Sox fan from New Hampshire has been awarded $4.3 million by a jury following a 2010 incident in which he was harrassed and stabbed by a Yankees fan, reports the Associated Press. The incident took place in a Connecticut restaurant called U.S.S. Chowder Pot III.
Yankees fan John Mayor was harrassing fellow patrons and trying to start a fight while bartenders continued to serve him alcohol, according to an attorney representing the man stabbed. Mayor was convicted of assault and is serving a 10-year sentence in prison. Monte Freire, the Red Sox fan, suffered a brain injury and a stroke, and has been left with impaired speech and vision as well as severe scarring.

knucklehead - meet knucklehead
Chowderheads.
The article fails to mention if there were U.S.S. Chowder Pots I and II.
I ate at one of the Chowder Pots a couple years ago. It was good.
A great comedian I once saw (can’t recall the name) was doing a routine where he spoke of wanting to borrow a book from the New York City Public Library.He said that when he was asked for his card he replied that he didn’t have one.”Well,you have to prove you’re a resident of New York”,said the librarian...”so I stabbed her.”
This happens every day in Conetycut.....Connectitup......Concatsup....a bar.
Anyway - Girl's night out. Ten years ago. We were two 40 year olds who hadn't been to a bar in years!! We figured this would be a nice, quiet, respectable place where we could get a drink or two with an umbrella in it, share a few funny stories and call it a night. We were wrong.
Okay, it was fun, but 10 years ago, there was a pretty interesting crowd in the bar. Lots of 'sthaven women and old lonely looking guys.
Well. Long story short, the bar patrons didn't match the restaurant patrons and I'm not surprised that the gathering crowd didn't eventually lead to the events described.
haha ... ‘staven women. I know of this particular breed. Its harder to get the legs apart on ironing boards.
Sounds like Don Rickles.
Not a huge surprise here in Connecticut, home of the Red Sox-Yankees “Mason-Dixon Line”...
With ‘staven (short for East Haven, very blue collar and Italian town) I do believe that the lags come apart quite easily, but you really pay for it later on!! :-)
(Think of the Jersey Shore type women - only older, less attractive, & more “used”)
Northern VT is much the same way.
Yes though of course there are Yankee fans, etc. in Western MA and in Vermont too (ate once at “NY pizza oven” in Colchester VT near Burlington and it was decorated with Yankees memorabilia; am Sox fan but put up with it; would guess Noo Yawkers visit Vermont quite a bit...actually was slightly surprised to see a Patriots bar sign at a place near Hoosick Falls, NY; wait, that’s outside New England :) )
U.S.S. Chowder Pot III: A few times I stayed in Branford CT (Motel 6) and went by there a few times but never ate there.
There was actually a case in NH I think where an irate Yankees fan ran over and killed a Sox fan after seeing a game at a bar.

>>A 43-year-old New Hampshire mother is in jail after running her car into a group of Boston Red Sox fans, killing one man. Ivonne Hernandez was outside a Nashua, N.H. bar when a group of Red Sox fans began chanting, “Yankees suck! Yankees suck!” after seeing a New York Yankees bumper sticker on the back of her car. Hernandez approached the group and got into a fist-fight with a 21-year-old woman.
Following the altercation, Hernandez got into her 1997 Dodge Intrepid and tried to RUN THE GROUP OVER. Her car struck 29-year-old, Matthew Beaudoin, of Nashua killing him.
(Link has her mug shot incl. band-aid on face)
yup; Colchester’s “NY Pizza Oven”...Winooski’s “Donny’s NY Pizza—See Yankees games here”. Burlingtonians of course can hear Yankees on WVMT 620 or Red Sox on WCPV 101.3 should they choose...
Lame pun I made up: Proper behavior at a convention is like a New England state: It’s Con etiquette.
“Not a huge surprise here in Connecticut, home of the Red Sox-Yankees “Mason-Dixon Line”...”

Very funny—I ever heard that description before. Western MA is tricky also.
Go Sox !!!! :-)
.
America would be much better off if both Red Sox and Yankees fans took each other out...
Western Mass. has a fair amount of Yankee fans?? I never would have guessed. I pretty much assumed Red Sox fans in all of MA were at the 90% level at least.
Now Rhode Island is another story... I think the Mason-Dixon line extends eastward to the Ocean State... ;-)
