Fenway Was More Faithful

"The [Damon booing] breakdown wasn't as one-sided as was reported in the papers and on TV. A boo is 3-4 times louder than a cheer. Johnny saw the people cheering, but it sounded like 10 percent if you were sitting at home. It was more like a 30-40-50 percent split in the crowd that night." -- 5.7.06, The Boston Globe's Chris Snow on CBS4's Sports Final
