It was just a matter of time, GSC, I figured that Yankee Stadium would be next after Tiger and Candlestick.

Your reception for cheering for the Sox doesn't surprise me, lol! I was subjected to a small amount of derision in 1962-1963, when my Dad took us to games at the old Colt Stadium in Houston. Got to see the Milwaukee Braves w/ Warren Spahn, and the Cardinals w/ Stan Musial. I still have the Braves & Cardinals pennants I bought at those games. People did make a few comments, but I figured I'd always be able to get a Colt 45's pennant. I was wrong! ;>(

Speaking of Stan Musial...my Dad took me to the '61 All Star game (at Fenway).A Red Sox rookie phenom (Don Schwal) was pitching to Musial who had gotten the count to 3-2 and then fouled off about 10 pitches.My Dad leaned over to me and said "you watch,Musial is just toying with this kid" and then,on the next pitch,Schwall struck out Musial.

Fenway went wild! It's one of my fondest memories of my Dad.
