B is for . . . .
Boston Red Sox, of course.
The most wicked pissah baseball team in the history of the sport.
And lest you think I’m a fair weather fan, this ticket stub from opening day in 1979 should silence any doubters.

Holy cow! Only $4.75????? Great choice for “B”, by the way and I’m glad to see that your loyalty is still with the good guys. =)
You know, I’m supposed to dislike the Sox (my boyfriend is a life long yankees fan - he even loved them when they were terrible in the 80s), but I appreciate fans who stuck by them when they were terrible. I say this as someone who is a fan of the Columbus Bluejackets and the Toronto Bluejays - both of which have farm teams in my hometown.
Also…there is no better day in baseball than opening day. Not even the playoffs. (and I’ve gone to NY/Boston playoff games)
Yaaaaaay Boston! Woohoo!
‘79? I’m sure it was nursery school, wasn’t it?
The only baseball dream I ever had… maybe in the mid 1980’s, I was living in Syracuse. The yankees must have been doing well. In the dream I said, ‘what the f*!* do I care about the yankees? I’m from Boston!’ Technically from 1/2 hour north… Hmmm, that was a thursday night, so I was probably home, but was probably out doing things I’d never want my parents to know about!
Being bad the next night that is…
Jaaaa! I’m not a huge sports fan, but the one game I can watch is baseball, and if I’m watching baseball, it’s gotta be the Red Sox!
$4.75 wow! Can you imagine how much a ticket in that seat is now? I have never been to a baseball game to watch. I played in little league when I was little.
I absolutely love that picture of your son in your last post.
Real men wear Red Sox!
Agreed!
1979? Yeah, you wish.
Very cool! Love the price on the ticket! Those were the days. I can remember when gas was 59 cents a gallon-Ithaca , New York Fall of ‘77. My first year in college.
The best “B” ever! Only 23 days to go until spring training.
Lookie at that ticket price! Go Sox!
I had to avert my eyes! Too early to see that. If I had a blog, I’d put up a snazzy NY to combat your B
. Forget the Sox, GO GIANTS!
Please don’t tell anybody here in Minnesota that I LOVE the Red Sox as much as you - always have. It’s just plain herasy here. Great “B”!
Wow! back in ‘79 I was a fledgling Mets fan - I’ve grown to love the Sox in the 12 years I’ve lived in / near Boston!
Yeah Sox! I wish we could go for $4.75 now!!!
Great B! The ticket price really is a pissah.
What a wicked good mutha you have, to have taken you to a ball game while in utero, and saved the ticket for you…
B is for boo, hiss from this Yankee fan!
Great choice!
Atta girl!
Woo-hoo! Go Bosox!
“pissah” *giggle*
I am going to visit my family in Boston in April. I’m so excited.
Wicked pissah, indeed!
