A Meditation on Fandom

Friday, September 24, 2004

A considerable number of ardent Boston Red Sox fans live, of all places, in New York City -- the belly of the beast - which made author Nicholas Dawidoff wonder: what do fans get from all the hours they spend watching and listening to ballgames? Something, perhaps, not directly related to the score on the board? Dawidoff talks to fans at one of the Red Sox "bars" in New York City as well as literary scholar/Yankees fan Harold Bloom and Dean of Yale Law School/Red Sox fan Harold Koh. Produced by Emily Botein.
