We all remember the three ALCS games in Cleveland and how the crowd incessantly twirled those damn white towels. No matter what was going on it was a twirl fest. In the NLCS it was the same thing in Colorado. 50,000 nitwits twirling the white towels and no doubt it will happen in Colorado again for the World Series as the Rockies “pink hats” try to twirl the team back into contention. I am hoping they twirl those towels so fast that all levitate like helicopters and disappear.
But what you may not know was that last night prior to Game 2 DHL, the delivery company that uses Kenny Lofton in their commercials, handed out 35,000 yellow towels with their logo on them to fans entering Fenway Park. I don’t know about you but I never even saw one getting twirled or even used as a napkin to mop up the clam chowder drippings. Hell I didn’t even know they gave out towels until this afternoon when the guys on WEEI’s “The Big Show” mentioned it on the air. If you were at Fenway last night, I personally want to thank you for doing your part in making Red Sox fans look less like the asshats they’ve been accused of becoming. As you’ve heard many coaches say over time “you need to act like you’ve been there”. So thanks again for leaving the twirling to the crowd of bandwagon jumpers at Coors Field.
