Jamiesons Love the Red Sox

(Marshall's debut as a sports writer...)

Sports are not all there is in life...but sometimes they come pretty close. With that being said, I was getting very excited this past Friday for the weekend series at Fenway Park between the beloved Red Sox and the Evil Empire (aka New York Yankees). By Sunday night the Yankees had swept through Boston and stole 2 out of 3 games in the series. There are few things in life that are more painful than watching the Evil Empire celebrate a victory on Boston's holy ground.

Baby J is due any second now and I am excited to be a good American father and introduce him to the game of baseball. More importantly, to the Boston Red Sox. I have already been told on more than one occasion that we are a bit overboard with the Red Sox gear for the little guy. His adopted auntie Marcy bought him a full Red Sox set complete with onesie, cap, booties, and blanket; his uncle Tyler bought him his first Sox bat and ball; our dear friend Kara handmade him a Sox onesie; and his grandpa (who will be called Papi after Big Papi David Ortiz) bought him a Sox pillow that awaits him in the corner of his crib. I say there is never enough Red Sox gear but Emily put a stop to it at the Wally Mobile (the Red Sox little green mascot) dangling above the crib. So if anybody is thinking of last minute gift ideas...just kidding.

Emily and I can't wait to meet our son anytime now and while this past weekend they were a welcomed diversion, I'm sure at that point the Red Sox will be one of the furthest things on our mind!

Hey! You forgot about the silk-screened Sox onesie that we made. I know it's not official and that we could get sued for copyright infringement but that was the risk we were willing to take for Baby J.
