Not to give my whole life history, I grew up in CT and have lived in MN for the last 12 years, but still love the Red Sox. My brother lives in Boston and he sent me all the Boston papers from the day after the Red Sox won the World Series last year. I have the Herald's picture of Paps jumping for joy framed and hanging in my office. This all makes me the #10 Red Sox fan, but my most prized possession is my 2004 ALCS/World Series DVD collection.
Gotta go with 1. Even though my favorite player used to be 'Tek until he almost killed my brother with a frozen rope homerun during BP of the Orioles game on Wednesday. So it's back to Manny for me.
