And they let him go to the game without doing security checks??

Kerry Diverts His Plane to See Red Sox-Yanks Game



BOSTON (Reuters) - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry diverted his campaign plane on Sunday to make a surprise visit to Boston for the Yankees-Red Sox baseball game.

"This plane is diverted," he told reporters aboard his chartered Boeing 757 shortly after it left Columbus, Ohio, ostensibly for Titusville, Florida.

"It's a wonderful rivalry and it's a great event," Kerry said. "I love the Red Sox, the idea of missing a Yankees-Red Sox series right before convention week was not acceptable."

The Massachusetts senator, who on Thursday will formally accept at the Democratic convention his party's nomination as President Bush's opponent, was attending the 8:05 p.m. EDT game at storied Fenway Park and then resuming his original schedule.


The rivalry between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox is among the most heated in U.S. professional sports.

They had security guys with wands outside the game. Other reporters may have written about Kerry being at Sunday's game, but I didn't see it.
