Boston owner grants Hank Steinbrenner membership in Red Sox Nation

From the article (click link above to read the whole thing):

After new Yankees boss Hank Steinbrenner lambasted the notion of Red Sox Nation, Boston principal owner John Henry has offered an olive branch to his American League East rival.

Henry has decided to make Steinbrenner the newest member of Red Sox Nation, complete with membership card and certain perks that only members can obtain.

“I’m a big Hank fan,” Henry wrote in an e-mail to several media outlets, including the Boston Herald. “Just to ensure he knows how cool Red Sox Nation is, [Saturday] we officially inducted him as a member of Red Sox Nation and we are sending him his membership card giving him access to an array of options including our newsletter, bumper stickers, pins, Green Monster seats and a hat personally autographed by David Ortiz.”

Steinbrenner responded Sunday to Henry’s offer and said that although he respects Henry, he has no plans to join Red Sox Nation as a card-carrying member any time soon.

“I’m not gonna join Red Sox Nation — honorary or not — I’ll respond to that later,” Steinbrenner told The Boston Globe. “Trust me I’m never going to join Red Sox Nation. But John Henry’s a great guy.”

Hey Hank…if on the off-chance you are reading this…let’s make a deal. I will post a pic of myself wearing a Y***** hat on this blog, if you will give me those damned Monster Seat tickets. And I will even spell out the name of your team, okay?

Off to get some more popcorn…this is fun!
