Francona: Players should appreciate the fans

Wednesday night marked the Red Sox' 400th consecutive sellout, the second-longest such streak in major league history, trailing only the 455 straight sellouts notched by the Indians in the 1990s.

Boston manager Terry Francona said this morning that he hopes his players don't take the packed houses for granted.

"I hope they appreciate it," said Francona. "You see the crowds we get now and you figure it has always been that way. We've been very fortunate to play in a place where everything you do there's interest, where every game is important."
