Kevin Millar: A True Bostonian

It's funny to read what people in Baltimore have to say about Kevin Millar showing up and throwing out the first pitch at Fenway Park before Game 7 of the American League Championship Series. The common consensus is that he shouldn't have done it because he's a member of the Orioles and they are a rival of the Boston Red Sox. Orioles fans, let's get one thing right here. You may be rivals of Toronto. Definitely of Tampa Bay, but so long as Peter Angelos remains in control of that franchise you will not be a rival of the Boston Red Sox. A rival is one who competes for the same object or goal as another. The Baltimore Orioles haven't and won't compete for the same goal as the Red Sox or Yankees so long as Angelos runs the team. In Kevin Millar, you fans have a player who remains loyal to his fans even when he leaves, sure it may be tough to see him throwing a pitch at Fenway Park, but don't blame him, blame Peter Angelos for not fielding a team in Baltimore that could reach that level.
