The Yankees-Red Sox rivalry is fun when someone buries a Sox jersey under Yankee Stadium, but it's not so cute when knives get involved. Nashua, NH man Monte Freire is in critical condition after being stabbed in a Connecticut bar this weekend over the team rivalry. Police have arrested John Mayor of New Haven for the stabbing, and he has been charged with assault, breach of peace, and possession of a controlled substance. Back in 2008, a Sox fan was fatally run over by a Yankees fan—in Nashua, NH. Perhaps the folks from Nashua should find a new hobby for a while.
