Wow...
So, as much as a Red Sox fan as I am, I think I have finally found a World Series commemorative item that even I think is going to far, and that's saying something. After last season, they tore up the field at Fenway to put a new one down. Instead of just getting rid of the grass like sensible people, they chopped up the turf and sent it to a turf farm in Rhode Island.
At this point, if you any of you are thinking, "no, they aren't" let me stop you right now and say, "yes, in fact, they are."
Members of Red Sox Nation can now, for the low low price of $150 plus tax and shipping, own a piece of Fenway turf to be transplanted and placed in a yard or garden.
I mean, what in the name of God is this? I mean, I've seen little vials of infield dirt from the World Series for like $5, and admittedly, that's a neat little keepsake, but a chunk of grass? "Hey Bob, see that slightly greener patch of grass over by my garage? Yeah, that's World Series grass right there." I mean, really, this is plain insanity. And it's not like we're talking a large chunk of grass either. It's not like you could redo your entire lawn with it. No, we're talking a little square that maybe you could fit both of your feet on. I can see people buying this, planting their entire garden around it, and then sitting in a lawn chair with their feet on the Fenway grass dirnking a Sam Adams while watching the Sox game on a portable t.v. so they can "feel like they're there". If you want to "feel like you're there" so god damn bad, go buy a freakin' ticket to a game.
I'm sorry, but the stupidity of the buying masses astounds me sometimes.
