So, I've been reading a lot of pissed off posts about Bandwagon Fans. . . .

I guess it shouldn't really surprise me that the die- hard, crust of the earth Sox fans can't stand people who only became BoSox fans after their WS win in '04. And of course, for anyone who has read my profile, I clearly state that I didn't become a huge fan of the Sox until their '04 season.

But it doesn't make me a fair-weather fan. I never really used to be in to baseball, then I started watching games and got into them. Eventually, I found myself hoping a certain team would win.

Then came the Series. I thought, "Okay, here's my chance to watch 2 hugely popular teams I know virtually nothing about, and see if I can really sit through this and pick someone I like solely based on skill."

That's when I fell for the Sox. I saw their passion, their determination. The fact that they were so solid. To me, the Yankees are very self-involved. Almost all of they players buy into their own hype and come game time, all they seem to focus on is how to make that front page shot, instead of being in the game play-by-play.

Now, I may not know all there is to know about baseball or the Sox, but I love the game and I LOVE the team. It doesn't matter to me that I am considered a Bandwagon Fan. I have enormous respect for the "Forever Fans" and hopefully a day will come when us "Bandwagon Fans of '04" can just be called "Fans".

P.S. Love my blog or hate it, it's mine and it's there.
