Apparently little Steinny hasn't traveled too far from New York City, yet alone Yankee Stadium... He should come down here. You'd be surprised the amount of Red Sox fans that are here. Regardless I'm sure most of them are on the bandwagon, but theres others that I've known since I was a kid.
There's this one bar and grill I frequent, been going there since I was a kid, the owner is a transplanted Bostonian (is that right? Bostonian?) And pretty much made his place's atmosphere around the Red Sox. Autographed pictures, putting games on the tv at the bar, etc. Slowly but surely as the years went by, the fanship grew. And even thought I like seeing fans of Red Sox, I do think the term "Red Sox Nation" is a bit overdone and outdated.
