I was watching the baseball game the other night......St. Louis Cardnals were playing the Boston Red Sox there in Boston and the Sox were wearing green jerseys. I was just wondering the reason for the color change. I noticed today they were back in their regular colors. I thought you might know Syd but if anyone else knows, will ya let me know?

Thanks

Hey Htown..Its not often that I know the answers hehe..But I do know this rotf...They wore green to honor the Celtics winning the basketball championship. Too bad they didnt win that game tho.

Have you guys dried out there yet? Gosh I just hate watching the news. My heart is breaking for the poor peeps in the mid west

Oh, ok....Oh great for the Celtics....I bet its Celtics fever up there. Congrats to them for their big win.


Thanks for asking Syd, we got rain again today and we are lucky where we live cus we live far enough away from the rivers that we are able to stay dry. There are areas closer to the Mississippi river, like downtown St. Louis and towns in southern Illinois that have had to close streets and stores and the like. Its terrible seeing those poeple who have been affected by the flooding drivin from their homes. Its soo heart breaking.

Red Sox honor NBA champion Celtics

Jun 20, 8:24 pm EDT



BOSTON (AP)—A fast-moving thunderstorm didn’t dampen the Fenway Park fans’ spirit for the NBA champion Boston Celtics on Friday night.

Honored during a brief pregame ceremony as heavy rain was falling, the NBA champs—atop three duck boats—entered from center-field and circled Fenway to a standing ovation, a shortened scene from their parade through downtown on Thursday.

With the Red Sox plays wearing green jerseys usually reserved for St. Patrick’s Day during spring training in Florida, the Celtics brought the NBA championship trophies from four seasons to Fenway. The players wore their warmups, with Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett leading their teammates with pumping fists and waves to a crowd as the rain was pouring and the grounds crew was putting the tarp on the field.

The Red Sox also had their grounds crew cut out a shamrock in the center-field grass prior to the game.

After about an hour delay due to the rain, the champions were reintroduced and came running in from center field, with Finals MVP Pierce sliding into the second.

Pierce then took the mound to chants of “MVP” before firing a high and hard first pitch that tipped off the glove of leaping catcher Jason Varitek.

Coach Doc Rivers then said “Play ball!” before the Red Sox took the field for their game against St. Louis, which began after a one-hour, 14-minute delay.

On the center-field scoreboard, a brief video tribute was played before they rode out with Queen’s “We are the Champions” playing in the background. The team brought their trophies from this season, 1981, ‘84 and ‘86, four of the NBA-leading 17 the franchise has captured.

Former Celtics Jo Jo White and Cedrick Maxwell also were in attendance.

A few minutes after it was over, a large rainbow was shining in the distance.

That was from Yahoo news

lol @ Pen

I, like an old television need colour adjust and vertical hold..ha.

I'm glad it was Htown watching, Id' have been too scared to ask!!

Thanks for posting the article Syd....cool.

yea, its oo bad that peeps cant enjoy themselves but yet behave.

Pen, I have to say at first I thoughtI was seeing things not quite right but then as I watched I realized I was seeing everything a-ok.

I miss watching games. I was spoiled during that two week hospital stay two years ago, I watched the game every night! I'd sho rather be home though, I'll have to join Red Sox nation.\o/
