Not enough Bosox fans at casting call?
From a Fever Pitch press release:
Fallon, who grew up a Yankees fan and idolized players like Bucky Dent and Don Mattingly, immersed himself into the culture of Red Sox Nation. "They are great fans, probably the best fans in all of sports," said Fallon, who actually based his character on one of his former producers at "Saturday Night Live" who would come to work wearing a beat up, old Red Sox cap.
I don’t know what’s more pathetic: that a “Yankee fan” could agree to play this role, or that “wearing a beat up old Red Sox cap” to work constitutes being “the best fans in all of sports.”
When the Sox falter this year, I will liquidate my life possessions to fund a movie documenting the life of the Boston fan who realizes now that he has a WS title, he has to just settle into the life of the normal baseball fan.
And accept that one ring does not a dynasty make. I don't care about that whole 26-6 record. And to be honest, I don't really care about last season anymore. It sucked, but Boston admittedly did something unfathomable and amazing, which-as a fan of the sport-I think is pretty ridiculous.
And yes, they deserve time to gloat after all this time. But it's one year. Congratulations on finally winning a WS, but stop acting like Randy Moss in the end zone. Act like you've been there before.

Hii, well its safe to say you just made my day, probably my whole week too. Thanks for reading, I had no idea anyone reads these things. Youre brave, I'm too scared to go anywhere near Boston. I feel like its one thing to wear a Sox hat in NYC, another to wear a Yankee one in beantown...
