Endorsed by a Yankee Fan
Two of my best friends from Franklin and Marshall College, Jim and John, have always been huge baseball fans. The only problem is that while John is a Red Sox fan, Jim is a Yankee fan. Not only a Yankee fan, but a trash talking, nasty email sending, in your face Yankee fan. Although it probably killed him to even visit the Red Sox Nation website to vote, he did and he also asked his friends to vote for me…in a uniquely Jim way:
"Red Sox nation, one of your fellow ****** (and a good friend of mine from college) is actually a finalist for the presidency of Red Sox Nation. Cindy Brown is chairman and CEO of Boston Duck Tours and a muckty muck in the Boston area. She has made it to the final 9 and is going against some big names, including Peter Gammons and Jerry Remy (the biggest *****). Anyway, the election results will be counted at 5:00pm Tuesday so I am asking for you to support her by clicking to http://www.RedSoxNation.com . Scroll down mid way and you will see all the 9 candidates who have made it to the finals. Each person can vote 10 times with a single email address so if you have two you can vote 20 times. I am giving her as many votes as possible. She is a deserving ***** who if she wasn’t a Red Sox fan would be a deserving person. Anyway, if you can see it into your hearts (if Red Sox fans have any heart) to vote for her, she and I would be most appreciative. Check out the web link, its interesting. By the way, if you want to talk to her about her platform person to person, you can email her at cbrown@bostonducktours.com."
Not the most positive endorsement, but an endorsement nonetheless. John and I thought of Jim while we were at the game on Friday night. Sadly we didn’t stay to see the celebration at Fenway after the Yankees lost, but I’m sure we felt Jim’s pain hovering over our joy!
That’s what good friends are about, supporting your dreams even if they don’t see eye to eye with you!
Good luck!!
Have a deep gut feeling that you will be Madam Pres.I keep dreaming of SOCKS with little yellow DUCKS on them…hmmmmm!
Cindy.
Like Jim, us Yankee fans down south are tyring our best to keep our enemies close and friendly…Hopefully everyone is doing their part!!! Good luck and looking forward to seeing outcome tom or Wed!!! ONCE AGAIN GOOD LUCK!!!
Wow – any endorsement from the evil empire is an amazing thing! Guess he knows who his Daddy is!!!!!
Even a Yankee fan knows who should be Pres!!! Good luck and we’ll see ya in the next round!!!
Hi there Cindy,
I just wanted to ask you a question before voting: Other candidates had spoken about possibly starting something to help honor fellow Sox fans who have passed away. They mentioned maybe bricks with names inscribed or something to that effect. Would you try to do something like that if elected president? I love the ideas you’ve put forward, but this is something that would be near to my heart.

I just noticed that the polls have closed. I went and voted for you anyway π
