Apparently a Yankees fan made the mistake of wearing his favorite team's hat into a bar in Cambridge, Mass., last Saturday, drawing the ire of four (presumably) drunk Red Sox fans. Soon after, the man and his girlfriend left the bar but were followed outside by the hooligans, where the beating occurred. From the Cambridge Chronicle: ...

The CAMBRIDGE (MA) CHRONICLE reports today that “a group of men — some with Irish accents — beat up a 23-year-old Cambridge man and sent him to the hospital after they spotted him sporting a Yankees baseball cap .“Witnesses told police the group of apparent diehard Red Sox fans beat up the victims after an argument inside a Central Square bar. The group then ran away on Mass. Ave. towards Harvard Square.” We love the “they had irish accents!!!” part of the story, which leads us to believe that the Yankee hat may have had incidental bearing on the incident. Also, the report is ...

Red Sox Nation not so tranquil

... First, a couple of Mass-holes badly injured a man for wearing a Yankee hat inside a Cambridge, MA bar last night. The incident happened inside the Cantab Lounge, a bar I’m very familiar from my two years living around the corner from the bar in Central Square. It’s a pretty cool Jazz club, at least it was when I was there, but can be a bit rough around the edges. I’m not the least bit surprised no one came forward to identify the perpetrators. A few eyewitnesses did say they had Irish accents. Great! It’ll be very easy finding a few young Irishman ...

As a white person named Patrick O'Keefe (i.e. some of my ancestors came into this country from Ireland through Worcester, MA), I am appalled at this story . According to the victim's girlfriend, the couple went into Cantab Lounge in Cambridge and a "large group" of people came up to her boyfriend and started arguing with him because he was wearing a Yankees hat. The couple left the establishment, but they were followed and, alledgely, threw the Yankee fan to the group and kicked him. He was taken to the hospital. On a serious note, we wish him a speedy recovery. On a ...

We don't mean to suggest that our invited guests for the opening homestand are somehow going to be somewhat less than well-behaved. (Because there's no precedent for Red Sox fans to act like drunken douches at Rogers Centre, right?) But somehow, we're not comforted by the news (via Deadspin) that a bunch of Red Sox fans beat the snot out of a Yankee fan over the weekend, just because. Yeah, this is going to work out just super, isn't it?
Yankees-Red Sox Rivalry Is Some Serious Stuff
The Bronx Stop: A Yankees Blog —
We all know how much we hate the Red Sux, but I have to say, it can get just a bit out of hand at times. Here is Terry Francona speaking about a friendship with Joe Torre that out of necessity lived behind closed doors. After four years as the Boston Red Sox manager, Terry Francona can finally put his arm around Joe Torre behind the batting cage. If Francona tried that when both led enemy squads in the intense Red Sox-Yankee rivalry, he risked the wrath of passionate fans who would gasp at such fraternization. ...
