32. 30 It couldn't have been 1998 or those would have been marlins fans finding their seats. 31 Rings on a t-shirt only symbolize championships. If you're really bothered by that then I think you might want to see someone.

31. Yanks fans werent rallying around '26 Rings, Baby!' until 2004. '96-'00, Yanks fans swagger was a result of their team kicking the ass of every other team. After 2004, Yanks fans learned to count. Their pile is bigger than our pile. Though 20 WS championships came 45+ years ago. Live in the now huh? The funny part is the '26 ring' T-shirts are wrong. The Yanks only have 23 rings, the first WS rings were issued in 1932 by the Yanks.

30. Jeb, It's not that we feel like we are the greater franchise. It's that we are the current World Champs, and like how our Team is positioned for the future. That is why we are arrogant right now. This reminds me of a story. When I was a teenager (98 I think the year was) I went to Sox-Yanks game at Fenway. Pretty good seats, but unfortunately right in front of 2 extremely arrogant Yankees fans. As they came to their seats (in the 2nd inning) they were holloring, "World Champions in your row! Excuse us, we're WORLD CHAMPIONS in your row!" All the way to their seats. It burned me to no end. I can't even describe how angry I was. I vowed to have revenge one day. Well in '05 I had my chance. Sox-Yanks tickets in NY. Of course I got to the game on time, with a good hour to spare, but I could see it all unfolding in my head. Approaching my seats and saying the exact phrase that spun me up so long ago. I couldn't do it. I still wish I had, and it wasn't out of fear or stage fright. I just saw younger yankees fans with their Dad's sitting around and couldn't bring myself to that level. I really wish I could have done it. Anyway, my point is, let us be arrogant. It's our time in the sun.

29. 28 I know that but y'all weren't arrogant in 2003 when you had 5 titles dating back to 1918 and before. It's the two titles that have given you the swagger. In any event it appears that 7 is also greater than 26.

28. Jeb, the Red Sox now have 7 championships. 2004 wasn't the first one, just the first one since 1918.

27. 23 so 2 championships reverses 26? Time will tell.

26. 24 : I can't recall for sure, but Boggs' case, which may have involved monetetary wrangling (I don't remember), might have been the one that prompted the Hall to decide that THEY would determine what cap went on the player in the plaque. (He is wearing a Bosox cap.)

25. Wade should've worn a Sox cap, NYY championship ring and a Rays Jersey. Sums up the career, dontcha think? (Yanks fan here - could care less about Wade Boggs and what hat he wears).

24. Wasn't Boggs paid to wear the Tampa cap at Cooperstown? Maybe he got a nice check from Boss Jr. the other night. Chicken's getting expensive.
