Red Sox Nation Myspace Layout

September 16, 2008

Red Sox Nation refers to the fans of the Boston Red Sox. The phrase “Red Sox Nation” was first coined by Boston Globe feature writer Nathan Cobb in an October 20, 1986, article about split allegiances among fans in Connecticut during the 1986 World Series between the Red Sox and the New York Mets. The phrase was popularized by the 1996 book At Fenway: Dispatches From Red Sox Nation (ISBN 0-517-70104-9) by Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy.

Red Sox fans were once described by baseball commentator, Hall of Famer and former Red Sox player Dennis Eckersley as the “ultimate manic-depressive fanbase.”[1] For all the excitement over the quality of play by the Red Sox, there is often a twinge of pessimism about the team, as the team’s failures are typically blown out of proportion. Boston Globe columnist Charlie Pierce, among others, has attributed the self-perpetuating fatalism of the Nation to the intellectual legacy of the Puritans who settled Boston and instilled in the region’s inhabitants a deep-seated Calvinist determinism.
