all depends on your point of view. To me, the Red Sox were never a hero and never will be. But I see your reasoning. Everyone has their own thoughts on this and they are all different. That’s the great thing about this article and all the comments that have followed!

The Red Sox as the Joker? Pretty stupid and unimaginative. I mean come on, the Red Sox the are Joker and the Yanks are Batman? Way too predictable. Obviously they should have been Harvey Dent. They are the White Knight, out to accomplish the same thing as the Dark Knight (Yankees), which is clean up Gotham (win the WS), but only with the blessings and support from the rest of the baseball community (Gotham City). I mean come on, the Yankees are the “Evil Empire,” not the Sox. Like Dent said, “you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain”. And if the Red Sox keep on winning like this they will become baseball’s most infamous villains of all time. The Rays are the Joker because they have definitely pulled the sheets over our eyes when we hardly saw it coming. And like the Joker, they still lack an identity. Paul Raymond, get creative!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting concept- I live in The Tampa Bay area,so the comments concerning the area are spot on. My picks.Batman-Tampa Bay Rays Conflicted and haunted by the past,misunderstood by fans. Willing to do what’s right to win. The Joker- Orioles. Power mad owner. A perennial loser to better teams. Two Face- The Jays.Start strong can’t accept defeat. Alfred-NY Yanks Wise old franchise. Knows how to win when all seems bleak. Which leaves Lt. Gordon- BoSaux. Knows His place as a bit player. A win here and there,But can’t measure up to Batman and Alfred. Needs to stage own death over 80 Years.

They’ve got players fighting in the dugout, a player pushing team personnel to the ground, players almost getting arrested while leaving the game for ignoring police officers.

….that’s pretty much all one guy.

Awesome article, even better movie. I’m a yankees fan and I would even go as far as to categorize the sox as the scarecrow, insane due to the lackluster 86 years that will haunt them for their existance. The movie is definently worth seeing twice.

This article is riddled with spelling/grammer errors.

Also… “They’ve got players fighting in the dugout, a player pushing team personnel to the ground, players almost getting arrested while leaving the game for ignoring police officers.” The fight in the dugout? That was Manny trying to hit Youk. Pushing team personnel to the ground? Manny. Almost getting arrested while leaving a game? Yup, you guessed it, it was Manny. But that was for jaywalking and I’m pretty sure the Joker has done far worse things than crossing a street outside of a crosswalk. So by my count, that’s only 1 player. Nice try though.

This was one of the best articles I have ever read! As a HUGE Batman fan and a HUGE Red Sox fan, this was spot on! I even believe that the Sox are equivilant to the Joker because we grew up so messed up…but when the team wins (no matter how crazy it was) it works out to be genius when you take a step back…In our minds we will always be underdogs and would never truly escape the misery we had for so long. And as with the comics, Red Sox baseball just wouldn’t be fun to watch without the Yankees! Even if BOTH teams end up fighting for second-to-last place for all eternity, I truly hope the rivalry never dies!
