Question to the Sox fans on here: there is a lot of controversy in Baltimore over Kevin Millar's appearance at game six and game seven, throwing out the first pitching and hanging out in the dugout in the latter. I'm curious to know if anyone found it uncomfortable that he was there even though he is under contract with the Orioles, a division rival.

It's funny. Whenever Millar comes back to Boston for a series, the Boston media always pays a lot of attention to him. He's constantly being interviewed by the papers and sports radio. Perhaps it's the way the media portrays him, but it always seems like he wishes he could still be with the Red Sox. Since he's only a mediocre player, I think the Red Sox fans tend to embrace him, rather than think of him a rival or threat. I equate him as being a Red Sox "mascot".
So, I didn't feel uncomfortable about it at all, and I'm sure most fans felt the same way. I think it was more about Millar being able to come back and celebrate the glory days for one night than about anything else.
Now if it was Johnny Damon..........
