Sox fans

Have Red Sox fans gone soft since they've won a world Series. In the pregame introduction they gave the loudest ovation for Tony Graffanino. (He let what should have been a routine double play ball go right through his legs. Because of that error, the White Sox stayed alive in the inning and hit a three run homer to win the game.)

I seem to recall a similar situation with a different Red Sox player, one Bill Buckner.(He let a ground ball go through his legs allowing the game winning run to score in the '86 series) He didn't get a big ovation the next game, he was tossed out of Boston, and people would curse just when you mention his name.
