Red Sox Are My Life
Hi guys. I just wanted to write this post about my team. The Boston Red Sox are, contrary to popular belief, a very good team. I know that I am a virtual loaner here in Pennsylvania, surrounded by Phillies fans, and best friends who are Yankees fans. I mean come on, you might not like the Red Sox, but they're at least better than the accursed Yankees, who just pay for their players.
The things that I like about the Red Sox are as follows. They have a sense of pride for who they are, they don't just play for the money (here I examine Yankees players "cough, cough.") they play for the team. Another good phrase I heard once was, "Play for the name on the front of the jersey, not the back." This quote is really interesting because it really makes you think about why some people (Yankees) are playing the game. Is it for money and for themselves, or is it for the good of their teammates.
Also, the Red Sox have kept Fenway Park in operation since it was built in 1911. It might be small but it is the "Green Church of Baseball." Sure it might be one of the smalles parks in the history of the game, but it certainly has the most character.
Additionally, the Red Sox aren't on steroids. I don't want to have to refer to the Mitchel Report, but there are the facts. The only Red Sox player named on the list is no longer on the team; that player was Eric Gange, a reliever from the Dodgers.
Now this is just one opinion, but with the World Series in the next two weeks, I think that this fairly sums up the Red Sox, and what they stand for.

ok so im a huge sox fan from boston, but i mean like... the sox still have the second highest pay roll in the MLB. we pay for players too, its part of the game. our farm teams, however, are very good and have been bringing up good strong players (Pedroia, Lowrie, Lester, Bucholz, Elsbury, the list goes on and on)
so yeah the sox are a good strong team that plays with class and for the city of boston. but i respect some yankees players (for example, jeter is a good solid player who plays with class and i respect him)
so yeahh i mean the sox are amazing, i love them. but i think you're against the yanks for the wrong reasons.
go sox
yankees suck
