Offending Sensibilities


Two weeks ago, I received the following email from the BU Alumni Club.  Please take note of the highlighted section of the email.

bu-alumni-redsox-game

Here are a couple of issues I have with this presumptive email:

  1. Apparently, I can travel up to Boston on two weeks notice to take in a Red Sox game at Friendly Fenway Park.
  2. “[Y]our Red Sox”?!?!?  The Red Sox were never nor will they ever be my team.  Indeed, while the Orioles continue to founder below mediocrity this season, I still will never become a fan of the Red Sox.  Of course, the alumni club of my alma mater presumes that everyone who went to BU has become a Red Sox fan.

I will keep this in mind for the coming weekend invasion of Sox fans into Baltimore as the Red Sox come into town.  ;-)

    I’m sure we’ve got a picture somewhere of you wearing a Bosox shirt or hat. Don’t make Rob go dig it up!

    Actually, I would wager that there was never a photo of me with a Red Sox hat on. Maybe a Cubs hat, but never a Red Sox hat.
