There are about 30 Major League baseball teams, however, if you're a true Bostonian (and member of Red Sox Nation) there are only two. The others are just guys who show up to play every now and then. Now I'm all for chanting "Yankees suck!" and "Jetter sucks A-Rod," but sometimes people take it a little too far.
So today after leaving work I was feeling a little, "spicy." So I decided to head on over to Quincy Market in Fanueil Hall for some drunken noodle at a little Thai place there. On my way over I pass a big crowd of people who were surrounding a group of street performers. Now I've seen these guys before around Boston, and they're pretty good. Their talent is basically break dancing, and various acrobatic tricks.
So we're all there watching them perform when one guy starts yelling at one of the performers. At first I wasn't sure what he was yelling about, maybe one of the performers did something to piss him off.
The guy kept pointing at the performer's head and yelling (clearly disrupting the show) and it was then that I realized what he was yelling about. The performer was wearing a baseball cap backwards and when he turned around he revealed that it was a Yankees cap. Now usually when I see someone wearing Yankees paraphernalia or that of any team for that matter, I could give two fucks. I have more important things to worry about. And clearly this crowd also didn't give a damn what hat he was wearing, they just wanted to see a show.
It got to the point where this instigator looked like he wanted to start a fight. The performers, in traditional clown fashion, poked fun at him and encouraged the crowd to join in. The instigator eventually left after a few words with, who I could only assume was the head of the group.
Now there are a lot of bars in this area so it's a good possibility that this guy could've been drunk. However, with many Red Sox fans, its kind hard to tell sometimes.
