"The television show pitched the idea to the Red Sox during the offseason. Boston brass recruited the five players to participate. "

The reports apparently have some credibility; players better be willing to "play ball" if they want to be with the "Hollywood Red Sox." In marketing terms, this ownership's strategy reeks of overexposure, which could result in a cheapening of the Red Sox brand. At the very least, it is pretty annoying. Next, we will have cheerleaders and circus clowns at Fenway...uhm...wait...we already have those balloon guys and clowns on stilts. Baseball doesn't need the sideshow to be enjoyed by the true fans.

These guys know that the pure baseball fan will likely endure the distractions and stay loyal to the team; These moronic campaigns, while insulting to us baseball lifers, are obviously designed to capitalize on the team's new heights of popularity following the World Series championship, and draw in even more fair weather fans from the periphery.

Bandwaggoners won't mind; the loyal fans of real Red Sox Nation will continue to have their senses offended. See under: "Become an official member of Red Sox Nation. Buy your Red Sox Nation card today."-NF
