Guess what I just found out???

Just talked to a rep with Yawkey Way Store - the official Red Sox/Fenway Park Team Store. I asked them if they had locations inside the stadium - and she said yes. I asked if they sell Oriole hats or t-shirts and while she said probably not (the O's suck too much I guess! but that would support some O's fans who went to a game and did not see O's gear there), she said that they sell Yankee and visiting NL team memorabilia inside the Fenway Park when they are playing those teams.

Hear this again - the Red Sox sell Yankee stuff inside Fenway Park when they play the Yankees!

So - to answer those upset that the O's sell Yankee's gear inside Camden - EVERYONE does!

(Sorry - would have posted this in the other thread but it was closed and I thought this was pertinent info.)

But the Yankees and Red Sox are much bigger rivals than the Orioles with either club! I...I DON'T BELIEVE YOU!!! :cussing:

Great reporting.

You have way too much time on your hands if you've called the store and asked. I think you might be a little too worried about proving your point.

Well to be fair, if a single phone call can be used to prove wrong the point of someone on the Internet you never have and never will meet, shouldn't you do it? ;)

:) I would have had too much time on my hand if I would have spent several minutes arguing in that thread about the topic instead of picking up the phone and calling the Red Sox.

I disagree. A phone call to the store takes all of one minute. And there are certain posters on here that will NEVER take a backwards step, even if there is clear evidence right on front of them contradicting their claims. So to me, the OP gets positive reps, and I thank him for taking one entire minute out of his life to call the Yawkey Way Store to confirm this.

I don't care who does it...and I don't care it even makes sense to do it...I still don't like it.

The Orioles are in very different circumstances than the Red Sox. The opposing fans never outnumber the home fans at Fenway (North). The Red Sox have no need for a "Protect this Yard" campaign. They'd be better off with a "Protect your Season Tickets by Paying for 10 Years in Advance" campaign.

I've been to about half of the MLB stadiums and they all sell hats and shirts from the most popular teams (Sox, Yanks, Phillies, etc). Most usually have one dedicated team store that sells only memorabilia from the home team. Not sure what the fuss is here?

    • This is a mix of hitting two really hot teams, our pitching attrition, and just some bad luck. Everything is not going their way right now.  Sure, I think the rotation needs some help after losing Bradish, Means, Wells and Kremer and yes, Elias should have done more this offseason to sure up this pen (I was saying that all offseason and through spring), but when the team pitches good it doesn't hit and when they score a bunch, their pitching stinks.  This team was not going to continue on a 105-win pace with their pitching injuries, but luckily, the Yankees have not been playing great either after being lights out for awhile (while the Orioles were red-hot).  No this team is not going to go into a giant tailspin where they end up under .500 and yes, they will eventually break out of this. We saw in the schedule this was a tough stretch of opponents and lack of off days and it's just kind of caught up just as they hot two teams getting hot.  They're going to be fine when it comes to making the playoffs. Now, do they have a deep playoff caliber rotation and bullpen? No, I think they need to make moves, move that are going cost some players people don't want to see go, but when you have never drafted and developed a major league pitcher in 5 years of drafting, this is what your strategy was devised for.  Develop the bats, trade/acquire for the arms. Now it's time to see if Elias is able to fulfill his strategy.
    • Not addressing the bullpen other than a stopgap closer in the offseason is kinda coming home to roost now. Doesn't help that Cano and Perez haven't been very good either. The rotation has just been pure bad luck. When your 2/4/5 plus Wells are gone, sooner or later you are going to feel it. Irvin and Suarez have pitched above expectations but you gotta assume they are going to settle into mid-4 ERAs sooner or later. No idea what the front office is going to do by the deadline. It's a sellers market it seems. I will say I hope major moves are made between now and the start of the 25 season, because it is pee or get off the pot with a lot of these guys on the farm.  And if Burnes isn't back, there is a TON of pitching that needs to be added.
    • It sure does feel that way.
    • They'd probably trade Witt for Gunnar. Then they could just offer Gunnar Witt's contract and we've been told a dozen times he would never turn it down. Win win!
    • It's weird, I think some people have been spoiled, in a weird way.   People on here were making fun of the streak...glad it's over, tired of hearing about it...well, this is the flip side of the coin.   It's like people here think this team is above any kind of struggle, any kind of adversity...injuries shouldn't happen to us, can't happen to us, won't happen to us.  We've had it really good since Adley's call up and we've been one of the best teams in the game. 5 game losing streak has some people here on tilt.    
    • All those Yankees fans running their mouths about Volpe being better than Gunnar last year are awfully quiet this season.
