Sox Accepting Fan Conversion Applications from Yankee Nation

More Agony for Yanks Fans

An uneventful World Series is now concluded and with that the banter about America’s pasttime will likley wain here at The Legend. The most rewarding part of the Sox second WS win in four years for us? More Yankees disappointment.

With the departure of Joe and A-Rod, general concern and uncertainty swirling around the organization and free agents mulling their departure, there were few tangible things that could add to the general malaise of Yankees fans circa fall 2007. One would be a Boston Red Sox World Series sweep. Wish: granted.

So, with the Sox celebrating in Beantown we can look forward to more fun photos and, perhaps, some Yankees fan conversions? The following landed in my inbox today. Although it could likely use some updates, this morning seemed the perfect time to share it again…The Boston Red Sox Fan Club conversion form…now exclusively accepting applicants from the Bronx.

    As you know, I’m a Sox fan and Yankee hater. So naturally I found your post to be extremely hilarious.

    If I were to point to one domino in the demise of the Yanks it would be the acquisition of Mike Mussina. (BTW, Moose going to the Yanks, was the impetus for the Sox grabbing Manny). The Moose, while carrying his weight early on in his overinflated contract during the regular season, has been a big disappointment — yet they continue to pay him! I just remember seeing him get lit up by the Dbacks in ’01. Yankee fans, let me say, I’ve really enjoyed the Moose era. Let’s keep it going Cashman!
