It's sooooooo old at this point. I never fully agreed with the premise anyway. When these guys come to play in your city, they become part of the city, in a way, for however long they play there (unless they've really got a problem with the city and its fans, like the departed #24 for the Red Sox apparently did). Some guys play in a city, like it a lot, and maintain a residence there even after they stop playing for the local team. Is it like the old Brooklyn Dodgers, who used to live "in the neighborhood" with all of their fans and go to the same delis and dry cleaners? Well, no, it's not like that anymore. But it's still more than just "rooting for the laundry" as far as I'm concerned, and it always has been. Thank you for pointing that out.

Times have changed, that statement is flat out wrong when it comes to the Red Sox. Has been since the Mitchell Report. Not a day goes by when I don't hear someone around here (usually a caller on WEEI) talk about steroids/HGH and reference Trot Nixon, Varitek, Ortiz, Pedro, Papelbon, Bellhorn and a few others - lately Damon has been getting picked on, even though statistically there is no case. “Still, in Boston, there is a tendency and willingness to look away when something like this happens, if only because it’s easier to move on than to sort it all out.”
