No thanks necessary, Corinne. The facts speak for themselves. On the other hand, I wouldn't give you a nickel for A-Rod!
Boston fans are different. We don't 'hate' other players, it's mostly against the management. George Steinbrunner drove me crazy! Any time he felt he needed a player, he'd go out and buy one. Salary caps? nyaaa!
Example: The Celtics were in the Eastern finals against Philadelphia one year during the Bird - Irving period. It was the final game and it became obvious that Boston wasn't going to win. In the closing moments the crowd started to chant 'Beat L A' over and over. Dr. J was astounded! He thought he misheard it! He couldn't believe that the Boston crowd was cheering the 76'rs on. He has loved Boston ever since., but that's typical of the true Boston fan.
Sorry to wax so eloquent but summer is over, going home Monday, had our own shark attack on our beach on Wednesday, didn't make the beach all summer because of the rickety stairs, all our five kids are AARP eligible and I have another birthday the end of this month!! ...And I'm on my third highball!!
But, thanks anyway!! _________________ John...
