Red Sox Prez

I'd tend to agree with your sentiment. The point of Red Sox Nation is that they are "united" as one group under the Red Sox flag. By electing a leader, it seems they are leaving one of their more likeable trait, their unity, behind. I just hope other clubs don't follow suit.

I don't have too much of a problem with this, as long as the president is someone good and don't take the job too seriously. It's not like he's going to be a Fascist dictator. Besides, what powers could he possibly have that would have a ton of influence on the team and its fans? He's not going to be a special adviser to Theo Epstein or anything.

Just remember - vote early, vote often!
