I am a lifelong Yankees fan, my family immigrated to the Bronx
from Ireland in the early 1900s, my dad was a Yankees fan. I
never thought anything of the Red Sox one way or another aside
from them being an opposing team like any other. If there was
a team I couldn't stand, it was the Mets because their fans
were so annoying. I genuinely had no idea of this hatred from
the Sox fans until that day in that bar.

Oh, well. Unfortunately, in recent times some fans have been
turning violent against away fans, and I don't mean in Boston
or even about baseball. Sad and disturbing.
