(see) Red Sox (,) Curse

I live in a mixed race household. That is, I’m from Boston, and the feller is from the South Bronx. But we get along just fine, even though friends from back home wince and then ask me if he realizes the great gesture of me getting him the YES Network for baseball season. Actually, I could care less, being a boxing gal myself. You’d never see this sort of thug headed behavior ringside! From the Boston Herald, who is obviously enjoying writing the name “Baggott” … nice one, Dad!

A carpenter “trying to impress” his 7-year-old son by treating him to a Red Sox game he would never forget was instead busted in front of the boy by police and Fenway Park security when he stormed the field Sunday in the top of the ninth.

The Sox were trailing the Baltimore Orioles 5-0. But had Michael Baggott, 37, of East Haven, Conn., just sat tight, he’d have gotten his wish: the Sox staged a memorable comeback right after his stunt, rallying in the bottom of the ninth to clip the Birds, 6-5. Baggott, who was off base in the eyes of the law, was whisked off the field, but “the people who stayed saw a pretty incredible finish,” Sox spokesman John Blake told the Herald last night.

Baggott pleaded not guilty yesterday to charges of trespassing and disturbing a public assembly in the Roxbury Division of Boston Municipal Court and was released on personal recognizance. Boston police Detective William Dunn, who arrested the bald, blue-eyed Baggott while on a paid detail at Fenway, said the determined dad “jumped onto and ran across the field while the game was in progress.”

The alleged incident happened at 5 p.m. Police said Baggott appeared to be bound for the Sox’ bullpen in the outfield. In court papers, Dunn said Baggott - who was at least fully dressed in a blue T-shirt, black shorts and white sneakers - claimed “he was trying to impress his 7-year-old son, who was with him at the game.” Baggott’s father was also said to be along for the outing.
