James T, your story about Varitek and ARod is apparently true. I happened to click on a Ken Rosenthal story for SI.com from 4/4/05 following up on some speculation that his Yankee ex-teammates might speak out like his old Ranger ex-teammates did.
The story you mentioned was practically the first thing I read.
It seems like A-Rod and Varitek also came to blows one other time a few years back, but I can’t remember specifically when.
As for a-hole fans, James, those guys you ran into at Fenway back in ’01 were just EXACTLY the kind of jerk-offs I’m talking about. Maybe they were bandies (there actually WERE a few of them around that year), maybe they actually were M’s fans who were on vacation…but I have a hunch that I personally wouldn’t have minded seeing them get their asses kicked myself — since those are the kind of louts who ruin the game for everybody else.
BTW, congrats — your guys played a great season and earned that banner. Enjoy your offseason!
