Going to the Bronx = imminent danger?
 

Five of my buddies and I (Toronto residents and Blue Jay fans all) are heading down to the Bronx to catch the Jays' three-game series on Sept. 21-23. The first day I'll wear my Jays hat, but otherwise take it all in and keep a lowish profile.

On at least one of the other two days, though, I'm considering throwing on my awesome 2004 BoSox ALCS Champions t-shirt, and putting on my BoSox hat, recently acquired, and going as a Red Sox fan. I'd try not to be fractious, but I'd be happy to discuss Jeter's overrated D or Theo Epstein's brilliance with any passionate locals.

Is this a terrible idea? Am I going to get my ass kicked, or at least covered in watery, American beer? Or will it all just be good-natured grousing and baseball rivalry one-upmanship? I'm sure Yankee fans are decent (if spoilt) people, and perhaps I'm worrying too much, but I did make it to a Leafs-Penguins playoff game in Pittsburgh a few years back, and I still don't know how we got back over state lines without a police escort. My Sundin jersey has never been the same.

Where are your seats?

Right field bleachers. Matt Stairs territory.

I agree that I'm probably overreacting, but I do want to be prepared.

I didn't order them myself, but that's what I've been told. That or in the bank of seats beside them in foul territory. Definitely well out there in right field.

Skip the game. That's the worst part of the park.

you are a moron - sorry dude

just wear normal clothes and act like a normal person. wearing red sox clothing to a game the red sox aren't even playing is asking to get your ass kicked/beer thrown on you.

Haha, out with the Bleacher Creatures?

I wore a Yanks hat to a BoSox game earlier this year. Got some pretty weird looks, though, a few comments but nothing serious. I had to stow a BoSox souvenir t-shirt I bought though, so as not to give anyone the wrong idea.
