With the exception of the slapping, the above is typical of the treatment we've received by several - not all - Yankee fans there, every single time.

And just how do you suppose Yankee fans are treated at Fenway?

(And I couldn't care less about the Yankees.)

I've been to Fenway many times, but only to one NYY vs BOS game (tickets are nearly impossible to get for these games at Fenway). At that particular game (7-17-05) I observed nothing unusual with the exception of a couple of "police actions" going on out in the bleachers - some brawlers being hauled out.

With my Red Sox fan in Yankee Stadium experience, I was on the lookout to see if any trouble would occur that day. I was surprised to see many Red Sox/Yankee couples there and groups of friends wearing Yankees/Red Sox jerseys. I was amazed at how calm everyone was considering the "stories" I've heard in the past about NYY/BOS games.

The comment I posted about Yankee Stadium were just my experiences there during five games over two years. If anyone else has stories of Fenway or Yankee Stadium during BOS/NYY games, negative or positive, I urge them to post them here.

As a Red Sox fan (wearing a Red Sox shirt and/or hat) in Yankee Stadium I expect friendly ribbing, or even fans to get in my face about how "the Red Sox suck", etc. But being called vulgar names with the accompanying gestures is is a bit over the line, IMHO...
