I will be attending tonight's yankee game as well as wednesday's and thursday's. I don't know what sox gear I should wear, be mindful, this is in the bronx and I don't want to provoke any yankee fans by appearing to be a yankee hater.

 

I could go All out white sox, which would mean wearing the jersey and throwback sox hat.

 

Casual fan- All Star game hat, all star game t-shirt

 

or just go with hat and nike baseball t-shirt.

 

any advice?? (I am thinking that I go with the first tonight, and see how that goes)

as someone who went in full M gear in Illini stadium...

 

I would never be intimidated out of wearing Sox gear in any stadium but I suggest, based on bad stories I've heard, you go as low key as possible ands till in Sos stuff - I'd do my subtle Sox hawaiian shirt and a crossed socks hat the first night just to see what it is like -

 

also in other stadiums I tend to be, how can one say, less boisterous in cheering, no need to be in someone's face in their own stadium -

 

after the 2000 Illinois game all of the M fans banded together in the end zone and we waited en masse until the Illini fans left, as close as I have been been to worrying about physical safety -

It really is kinda sad that some people are such neanderthals that you have to worry about cheering for the team you like "in front of them".

You would HOPE that society had advanced past that type of juvenile reaction.

 

............but since it ain't ME, FLY THOSE COLORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Depends how many poeple are with you. 10 guys in Cleveland, i wore jersey and hat. With the wife at KC, hat only. Bronx, alone, subtle tennis clap for the Sox in Nike shirt and Islanders hat.

Yankee fans are notoriously brutal. The legend is that LF seats are the worst place in the world to sit if you are an opposing fan or player.

Wear your gear, but you have to be able to listen to the Yankee fans talking smack, best to show your pride.

 

Now, if you were in Red Sox gear, you'd be recieving hell. That's the only offensive stuff you'd really wear,

Isn't LF where they don't even allow beer anymore?

 

I remember during the series with the Mets there.. there were soooo many fights out there. And I mean knock down drag out ones. The crowd would form a circle to stop the security from getting in to break it up.

 

Never heard about those on the news though, did we.. ?

The only time I was in Yankee stadium, some guy had the other teams hat on and they took it and passed it all the way up and threw it on the field.

 

Their fans can be real jerks. But still, the guy probably provoked it or at least I hope he did.

 

I wouldn't worry, represent the Sox gear and if they give you s***, just tell them we saved you guys from seeing Bartolo in a Red Sox uni.

Unless you want the Yankee Fan Mafia after you!

I went to Yankee Stadium last year and was sporting my Sox hat. There were a few comments but no trouble.

Until we take 2 out of 3 in this series, we should avoid talking smack.

Go with the Sox stuff on dude. Im gonna carry a handgun on me as soon as its legal and Im outta my house so aint no one gonna talk s*** to me...

that's real smart... or not.

 

Just go simply, a fan -

 

the smart play tonight at games end was to talk quietly with one friends and not be going "Yankees suck" in the faces of their fans - usually all it needs

 

however, you do bring a gun -

 

I'll either testify that you are a character at the sentencing phrase of the trial, or I'll give you one hell of a funeral sermon. "He was nuts, but we loved him. Or like him. Or kinda knew him."

 

 

you know I luv ya buddy!

 

leave the gun at the amory

GO ahead.......I always do it........IN fact I live by doing it.....YANKMEE fans wont bother ya too much

Follow up-

 

I went with the 'All-out' Sox gear, and it went well. I hear a few 'Sox suck' walking in. After that nothing until the introductions in which I stood and cheered (my friend, a mets fan rooting for the sox, pussied out of doing this), and numerous yankee fans yelled 'sit down ya bum' and 1 threw a catsup packet at me, luckily it did not explode on the jersey.

 

The fan sitting next to me would constantly make fun of sox players to his friends loud enough for me to hear, and he would rub in every out. I was booed a little when I got up to go to the bathroom. I moved to closer seats right before the 4th inning. There I encountered more Sox fans and 2 drunks who stopped caring about the game and just barraged me with questions about Chicago and the Bears, nice guys, just drunk.

 

Coming out two 'thugs' stared me and my friend down as we were walking out of the stadium, and they said 'stupid asses', after that all was good.

 

So Yankee fans weren't too bad.

Didn't they shut up after Frank blasted that homer? Man, I'd be dead quiet if my team was losing.

No kidding. That reminds me of a stupid ass wearing a Kerry Wood jersey at the Sox game on Thursday. We already had a fair lead, and ARod homered. He is standing up cheering and yelling, and then a Sox fan stands up and points out to him the Out-of-town scoreboard, which read, Houston 8, Cubs 1. He stopped then.

 

 

 

 

When I went to the M's-Sox games at the beginning of the month, I sat by myself and was wearing full Sox regalia, and cheered very loudly for them. Even though we got our asses handed to us the two games I was at, no Mariners fans said anything, they sort of sympathised for me.

Maybe I will leave the gun at home. Im gonna have one in my car tho and several in my house...
