Angel won't eat Fenway food

Casey Kotchman is pretty sure he caught food poisoning on the plane ride home from Boston after Game 2 of the American League division series last October. But just to be sure, the Angels first baseman, who was so ill he watched Game 3 of the series from an Anaheim hospital bed, avoided the food in the team's Fenway Park clubhouse this week. "I did room service -- I didn't eat at the park except for a few protein bars," Kotchman said. "It's a little mental glitch for me. I'm trying to be safe. The tough thing is, I like the food here, but I haven't messed with it." Whatever Kotchman ate in Boston, it seemed to agree with him. He hit a tying home run in the eighth inning of Tuesday's 7-6 loss and a tie-breaking homer in the sixth inning of Wednesday's 6-4 win, giving him a team-leading six home runs.

I heard of a case, a long time ago where a bettor infected a bunch of catered sandwhiches for a proffesional team that he was betting against. I don't recall the details. I am not saying that that is what this is. I am just relaying an anecdote.

Let's face some facts here. When the humble pie is served in Boston, it doesn't agree with everyone, right?
I know that is extremely arrogant, but I just couldn't resist!

I believe you are thinking about an old episode of "Coach" where the team got free buffalo wings before a playoff game in Buffalo?

No, it really happened, about 20 years ago, or something like that. It might have been football. i will try and find something on this later, if work does not interfrere too much:)

I've been to about 20 parks and fenway clearly has the worst food, and probably 2nd most obnoxious fans.
But the team has rings.
