Red Sox Have OFFICIALLY Gone Too Far

Those of you who know me even a little bit know I love the Red Sox as much as the next guy and also know that I respect this ownership group for 99% of what they have done with the team since purchasing it. The thing is though that they have now hit a new low that even I wouldn't participate in. They are offering fans the "opportunity" to buy a piece of fenway park from last years world series. Now, that in itself is a neat idea but the thing of it is that it's not a seat or a piece of the clubhouse chair that Big Poppi sat in, but a piece of the dug up and discarded turf. It's grass for sale here folks. Only $1.09 per square inch (Smallest size you can buy is a 162 square inch piece for $150) It's freaking grass!!! Check out the web site here. I think the best part of all of this is that the intention is for the grass to be grown in your own yard. It's been kept alive in Rhode Island and certified by Major League Baseball. Now you can plant it and hope to god it live long enough for you to build a fence around it so you don't forget which patch of grass it is...As much good as the money raised will do the Red Sox Foundation (which is where the proceeds are most likely going) I can't believe people are actually going to spend money on this. Come on you know who you are, there's no use denying it.
