The Boston fans are not known as the best in the nation for nothing.... It was a classy thing to do and the Indians deserved it, they were a damn fine opponent. Bring on the Rockies. The curse is dead.

I am pleased to know that Red Sox fans have more class than the Indians fans.

That was a very classy thing to do-it was a good series and the Indians wanted it badly. We know how it feels. I am glad to hear the fans did this. You'll always be remembered for actions like this and it just gives the area sports fans a good name.

I commend the Indians. I am a Red Sox fan but felt bad for the Indians. They worked very hard also. I wish them good luck next year. Looking forward to watchin Red Sox vs. Rockies.

What a nice post script to a great series. I felt thru the entire 7 games that the Indians were a classy opponent, and it's nice to know that the Sox fans showed their respect for that fact. As I watched the faces of the Cleveland players after the game I couldn't help but feel a little for them - but not enough to wish away the Sox win!! Bring on the Rockies!!

Red Sox fans have class and people don't give us enough credit for it. I am glad it was finally recognized. Great series.

The Indians are a class act. I can't believe that I actually felt a little sorrow for them at the end of the game. What a different crew than the Yanks.

I feel bad that there always has to be a losing team,but im am just glad it wasn't the sox. The Indians put up a good fight at home but when they got here it seemed like they had already given up.Well lets forget the Indians now and set our sights on Colorado! GO SOX!!!!!!!!

I've been a Red Sox fan for over 60 years. I am not a wrinkly curmudgeon. However, while the Red Sox win is to be celebrated, lets look at a simple reality. If I want to take my beautiful young wife of 24 years and my 15 year old daughter to a game at Fenway, I use up one third of my monthly retirement check. I must travel 150 miles, arrange for a meal, pay gas, and then pay $80 or more per person for my familiar third base grandstand seat. Forget about the cost of hot dogs and a beer.
The game does not care about me or about all the other people in a similar situation. I guess this is goodbye to Fenway. I'll find baseball at Dartmouth College and in the bevy of high school teams that compete along the Connecticut River. Once in a while, I'll go to McCoy and to Manchester.
Red Sox, bye your high paid players and I'm sure you will sell out the house despite your exorbitant costs. It used to be fun!

... where the living is easy and the ambience of mountain and stream sooth the soul; professional sport for me now pales in comparison. No soul, no consideration, no memory, when you give years of love, you expect something in return--or maybe not!

I remember as a boy a Cleveland Indian named Rocky Colavito. He was a slugger. The Indians are a great team. I can see why they had a record the same as the Bosox. I wish them a World Series win in the near future.
Nice to see the Sox win and looking forward to the Showdown starting on Wednesday night.

boston fans have always been a class act. i've been to a lot of stadiums and you'd be surprised at how rarely fans aknowledge an opposing pitchers performance. boston fans have always done it-we love the game. the indians downfall was their lack of respect for the team and the fans. a little noticed act by casey in game back to haunt him. he was in the on deck circle and had a fould ball come his way. instaed of tossing it to a fan he threw it in the dugout-to the crowds dismay. i don't need to remind fans what happen to casey at his next at bat and then his next fielding play. its all about karma in fenway

I'm from Boston - born adn bred. I now live in southern California. I see the BoSox in Anaheim each year and in Chavez Ravine every, what?, 4 years?

I frequent Sonny McLeans in Santa Monica every chance I get to watch the Sox - the best Boston sports bar west of the Mass Turnpike. For comparison's sake, it's dressed like the Four's across from the Garden (to hell with this Banknorth crap), has the blue collar feel of the Cask N Flagon, all amplified by two.

I am always proud today to be a BoSox fan but am more proud now. Reading what BoSox fans did for the Cleveland Indians players is an example for the sporting world. We always compete to win but in the end, when it's all over, we embrace and encourage.
