Like I always say, "Any moron can be a Yankee fan. It take faith and 
determination to be a Red Sox fan."

I was an impressionable 6 year old kid during the summer of '67. It has 
proven to be a way of life for me.

I was attending a school in upstate NY on October 3, 1978. I was the 
only Red Sox fan there. One other person was cheering for them that day, 
a Mets fan who said: "I'll be damned if I'll cheer for the Yankees."

I was working in East Hartford with a Queens native that fateful day in 
1986.

But the only thing second to my love of the Sox is my hatred of the 
Yankees. Last year I wanted the Yankees to lose. It was just a 
coincidence that they were playing the Mets in the World Series.

I always hold my head up high when I proclaim that I am a Red Sox fan. 
However, I hang my head in shame when I tell people that my son is a 
Yankee fan. (I think that he does it just to bust my stones.) We even 
have a picture of my father-in-law with Ted Williams, but that doesn't 
deter him.
