Scuds what is happening with the Red Sox is unique to most teams in baseball. Because Fenway is so small fans are used to the notion that they cannot get tickets to see them in Boston so in repsonse people started to travel in droves to see them on the road. I live just outside Baltimore and on most nights there is definitely more Red Sox fans at Camden than O's fans. This is worse in recent years because the Orioles suck and have for a decade or so.

The cheering for the Red Sox is , like the Yankees and Dallas in football, because these teams "travel well" or fill the park with Boston fans. They are a national team but in part because you cannot get a nonscalped ticket in Boston. I believe they just set a record for consecutive sellouts to prove my point.
