You Know You're a Member of Red Sox Nation

Tracy Howard
If you're a Red Sox fan, a true, die hard Red Sox fan, you've probably suffered a mild heart attack. You are probably suffering from a sense of uncontrollable joy mixed with disbelief right now. The curse has been broken. You have now seen the Sox win the World Series....TWICE!

In honor of this momentous, once in a lifetime, unbelievable, earth moving event, I've compiled a brief test. If these statements apply to you, then you may rest easy--you are a true member of Red Sox Nation, you ARE a Red Sox fan!

You think that the appropriate attire for Tacky Shirt Day is a Yankee jersey

You think Fever Pitch is your life story and the greatest movie ever made

You tried to talk your spouse into naming the baby Yaz

You sift through the trick or treat bag and throw away all of the Baby Ruth bars

You always have Sweet Caroline on your MP3 player

When your child draws a rainbow, you tell him to get rid of the Yankee Blue

You purchased a satellite, just to watch the Sox games

You've used the Curse as the topic for a school term paper

You have the Boston B or the Sox logo tattooed on your body

The 1986 World Series represents one of the worst moments of your life

Anytime you meet a Bill you think of that fateful Billy Buckner move

You just mentally corrected me, his name is Billy [bleeping] Buckner

You watched the replays on sports shows a dozen times---just to be sure

You pinched yourself, to make sure you weren't dreaming

It is acceptable for your 3 year old to say suck if Yankees comes before it

You believe that it is justifiable homicide if you were defending the Sox

Yaz's farewell speech brings you to tears

Your dying wish is to be cremated and sprinkled over Fenway

Skipping school on Opening Day is excusable

You were caught skipping on Opening Day because your mom was home watching on tv

You have a pet named Fenway

Your child's first word is Manny

You have found a way to receive all seven sacrements at Fenway Park

You remember where Ted Williams was when you heard Kennedy was shot

You've yelled Yankees SUCK when the Sox weren't playing them

You've had nightmares involving the 1986 World SeriesThere you have it, just a few signs that you are a Red Sox fan, and PROUD OF IT! GO SOX!
