Skins history in Boston & World Series

[freddyg12]

There's only 1 big game for New Englanders tonight - Roanoke.com

This is an article from my local paper about Boston sports & how little tonight's #2 BC v. #8 VT game (go Hokies!) is of interest compared to tonight's world series.

What this guy failed to mention was the Skins v. Pats on sunday & that George P. Marshall moved the Skins from Boston to DC in 1936 after a field hockey game got more press than a Skins win in the playoffs. Boston has only recently become somewhat of a football town due to the pats success.

Unfortunately, sundays game at the Pats is followed by the world series at 8:00 in colorado. thus, not a lot of ticket holders will miss the game as they can see both.

Still, the series might have more of their attention and the energy level may be much lower at Gilette. I do believe that the energy level & expectations of fans has an impact on a game. If the fans in Boston are just watching this game & expecting a win before they go watch the sox, they're in for a surprise!
