Why is everyone upset up the pink hats?

Pink hat, blue hat -- let's face it: ALL Red Sox fans are jerks.

There.

Controversy settled.

If you've been going to Fenway for years, and have seen how the "fan" base has changed, you'd know why the pink hat crowd is lumped into a stereotype.

Fenway has gone from a place where red sox fans went to watch the sox play, to a fashionable summer drinking fest for anyone who can drop the $$ to go see a game, including annoying girls who have no f'n clue what the hell is going on in the game, are not baseball fans, can only name 2 players on the team, and tell guys they're huge sox fans hoping it makes them more attractive.

Those wearing pink hats usually fit into the bandwagon-jumping stereotype. You can even ask a chick who's a real red sox fan if she has a pink hat, and see the dirty look you'll get.

That's why.

My daughter knows about baseballs - plays too and has attended a Big Papi batting clinic and Papi adored her. He even remembered her name at the end of the session - and everyone knows that Papi doesn't remember most names.

She sports a pink cap and she is a true red sox and baseball fan - we even attend many of the minor games in the area (because the red sox cost so damn much)! So blah to you, slappy do you know Papi on a first name basis?

(not any more of course).

And how many world series has the yankees won this century?

Hmmmm - ZERO!

And in Boston how many?

Wonder which team is professional?

Oh, is this thread about baseball? Who knew?

I was born in the Bronx. They have a professional baseball team there. They're called the New York Yankees. Do they have any professional baseball teams where you guys come from?

Cute, referring the "this century." The first world series was in 1903, so referring to the seven series which have taken place in "this century" is hardly conclusive.

Obviously, the New York team are the professionals. The Yankees have won 26 world series titles, and 39 league pennants. How many world series titles have the Red Sox won? Oh yeah, six . . . and how long was their drought? Oh year, 1918--2004.

Definitely, the New York team are the real professionals.

i mean... i presume you two are joking or at least semi joking, but there are tons of people who are deadly serious about this.

All I can say Joe is we know your pain (not any more of course).

I once killed a child with my own bare hands after hearing him say the words "I want a yankees hat."
