Rooters: The Birth of Red Sox Nation - Trailer

"Rooters: The Birth of Red Sox Nation" is the story of Boston fans; from their "birth" as the 200 "Roxbury Rooters" in 1897 to their transformation into millions known today as RED SOX NATION. Through rare images and film the saga is told by Boston baseball legends like Johnny Pesky and Peter Gammons, historians, Red Sox players and officials, everyday fans and the Red Sox Nation members descended from the original "Rooters". Super-Fans like "Nuf Ced","Honey-Fitz" and the "Queen of Fenway Park" come to life as the film shows how the foundation was laid for today's Fenway Faithful. Linking past to present, "Rooters" is the heartwarming tale of how generations of fans have passed on their love for the Red Sox like a family heirloom. This two-volume DVD follows the story from "The Birth of Red Sox Nation" Vol. 1, to the modern day phenomenon of how "Red Sox Nation Lives" Vol. 2.

What abot the 2007 team? Lester, Youkilis, Pedroia, and Ellsbury. All home grown. Don;t sit behind your computer and say that every Red Sox fan is an idiot, the Red Sox, just like any other baseball team, have fans that know the game and fans that don't know a two seam fastball from a four seam fastball. It's oultandish for anybody to say that every Red Sox fan is a moron.

its comments like that that make every baseball fan hate the yankees, btw Bruney was drafted and brought up by Arizona not the Yankees. the sox that year also had Youkilis, and Lowe and Varitek made their debuts with the sox.
