How I Follow the Red Sox - My Obsession

Everytime I start explaining to someone how much I am into the Red Sox I always start telling my list of things I follow and own. I wanted to have that list here on my blog as well.

I aim to go to at least one Spring Training game, one Fenway game (while I am not in the Boston area), and as many Camden Yards games as possible (I did all this last year). Living in RI I would probably try to go to a few weekend Fenway games every 3 or so weeks and go to lots of PawSox games.

I own:
1 red sox hat, B in front, socks in back
1 spring training city of palms park red sox visor
1 red sox 2004 WS tee
1 red sox "curse reversed" tee
1 generic Bob's stores girly red sox tee
1 Varitek home jersey
1 city of palms park tee
1 2007 WS tee

I pay for MLB TV so I can watch the games on my computer since I don't have NESN

I also pay for Red Sox text messages: During the season I get major MLB news, when a Red Sox player homers, when the lead of the game changes from the 7th inning on, and the final score. During the offseason, I get texts about major MLB news and Red Sox news like signings.

I am an admin and contributor to the Facebook group: One Million Red Sox Fans

I am an officer for the Boston Red Sox fans Facebook application, monitoring trivia, photos, videos and articles.
