One fun part of being at a live ball game are the chants. Last night against the Yankees, there were way too many Yankees fans and there was the battle for the loudest of "Let's go Red Sox" versus "Let's go Yankees".
During one of these the Yankees actually sounded louder so the Red Sox resorted to their most civil chant "Yankees Suck"', because they could not outshout the Yankees fans. It was just so humorous. I asked Rod if the Yankees fans have a counter chant of "Red Sox Suck" and we don't think they do.
Last night Arod hit a home run and for 30 minutes sporadically the fans around the person who caught the ball, and sometimes the entire stadium chanted "Throw it back, throw it back". We think that the fans who caught that ball were so perturbed by the chant that they moved their seats.
There was also chants when Arod was batting of "Afraud" and most of the Yankees fans as well as most of the Red Sox fans booed him when he came to bat.
We watched "42" on Saturday night and baseball really has changed since that time. I think some of the chanting is the big stadiums and the sound of that many fans all in unison chanting. You miss this part of the game watching on TV.
Memories of last nights game will be with me for a while and a grin on my face as I remember the silly fans chanting. Yes, I was one of those silly fans chanting.
