The Johnny Traitor Whore-er Show
Who Would Johnny Desert?
Boston Red Sox, that’s who.
I accept that player-fans relations are more cool-headed here than on the other side of the Atlantic. Here, Johnny won’t have to deal with slashed tires every time he enters New England. He won’t need a 20 strong security detail when he plays in Boston. Waiters won’t spill soup on him in restaurants.
And that’s good. I think.
But will he feel the wrath at all? When he comes to Fenway Park next year in those hideous pinstripes that Satan likes so much, will he constantly be booed? Will he have the most vile and obscene vulgarities yelled at him for entire games? Will the Red Sox play clips of Judas from every movie ever made about Jesus on the video screen when the Yankees are in town?
Or will the Red Sox Nation just pussy out and greet him with standing ovations, as a recognition of what he did for the franchise in 2004 or some total nonsense like that?
