What type of fan are you?

I know I've mentioned in passing a bunch of times on this site something to the effect of 'don't be like a Red Sox fan.' I have never been able to properly explain what exactly I've meant by this.

It was with great surprise that a few days ago, Boston Globe writer Bob Ryan wrote a piece on basically exactly what I mean.  He feels Boston fans have lost their way and the fans think everything is about them, and not about being a fan of the game.  Very good stuff IMHO.  Enjoy.

I am a MEDIUM MARKET fan
Arten't you sick of all these people who do not live within five miles of our beloved ballpark INVADING it?

It was SO much happier whan it was crowds of 12,000 at the stadium - much easier to clean up the trash afterwards.

I regret not signing Clemens, but it was MY money he'd be getting. MINE!

5 miles? Literally?
Gimme a break! I think anyone populating the southern california area is welcome. Wait, any ANGEL fan is welcome...

Btw, I live in Costa Mesa, am I welcome?
