Some of these are hysterical. I'd have to say yes to all but maybe a half dozen.

I grew up in Springfield. Used to take the bus to Riverside.

How about the stock car races at Riverside and the figure eights there?

One problem with the list: in southern CT there were no Red Suck fans until the last 10 years or so, can you say bandwagon!

Sorry, but I'm a third generation Sox fan from the central coast in Branford. Tons of life long Sox fans in that area.

Sadly, we lost my two brothers to the D&$@ Yankees but my parents did save the grandchildren.

If you remember them, what about the Korvette's (sp?) store in Hartford....the first discount store....and Mr Peanut. And the Isle of Safety where all the buses started and stopped their routes. And the fabulous brownies in Sage Allen's basement restaurant.

Clearly you've been taking a regular census and have the data to back that up. When you wrote "no...fans" did you even feel a passing twinge of a second thought? What absolute hogwash.

Like Icebear, my family had some bandwagon Yankee fans, but other than that anomaly Red Sox fans from by grandmother (born in the 19th century) on down.
