First off, I'm not a dude, I'm a girl. But that's irrelevant... Moving on...

I agree with your point on Steinbrenner, I agree with your point about money, and capitalist, and blah blah blah. But you so strongly defend the Yankees organization. My point is you are missing what makes Red Sox fans who they are, and why things like the Green Monster are so important to us. It's an icon for all of baseball. What baseball fan doesn't know what the Green Monster is? We are not the reason Fenway hasn't been torn down yet. It's the home of the Red Sox. And you can't compare it to the old Alex Box... it's far from trash. It's well kept, and it's important to Red Sox Nation. Each organization has its "thing" and focusing on one to make an argument without understanding the other is just ignorance.

and i respectfully agree with all that you said

but when red sox fans bash the yankees for being a machine of a business operation it really bugs me bc the red sox are the yankees with an old stadium and tradition. the EXACT same. and old yankee stadium has just as much tradition as fenway does minus the quirky field design

as long as we can agree on that we are cool
