Bacon: Take thrice daily.

So I’m at the Red sox game last night (2-1 Sox…Masterson’s first major league win) and I noticed a strange thing.  There were people everywhere in Celtics gear!  Normally you’ll see more Sox than say Bruins attire at the Garden [It still feels wrong calling it that] but Fenway has a strict dress code.

- Any current player is acceptable

- Any past player that we still like is acceptable (Nixon, Mueller, Martinez)

- Under no circumstances walk in the building with a Damon or a Clemens shirt

- “Classic” player shirts are a grey area…its ok to wear a Fisk shirt if you were alive when he played.

But these are all still Red Sox shirts not the surprising amount of “Celtic Green” I saw.

Now here’s where it gets weirder!  Dave and I found ourselves watching the TV with the Celtics/Pistons game on it during some of the middle inning up on the right field roof.  [Disclaimer: we literally had the worst seats at Fenway park...top row Conigliaro's Corner no protection from the elements]

Then there was this:

That’s right…showing highlights of the game on the jumbotron during the Sox game…and the crowd went nuts when they showed the C’s winning.

Personally I welcome this diversity into my Red Sox dominated world it keeps it interesting.
