Joy and jitters
Boston Globe
Indeed the Sox have rarely faced a stormier financial climate. Buffeted by the loss of some corporate sponsors including major partners Nikon and PC Connection the Sox also face slumping sales of premium hospitality suites a sharp drop last year in television ratings and a fading fever for baseball among some patrons. “It’s been a very challenging environment” said Sam Kennedy the team’s senior vice president of sales and marketing. A team that counts on the legendary loyalty of its fans also now finds itself needing to win back customers like Jamie Andrews a human services worker from Wey mouth and former Fenway diehard. When the Sox acquired Pedro Martinez in 1997 and Manny Ramírez in 2000 Andrews named his cats Pedro and Manny. And when his second child was born the night the Sox won the 2004 World Series Andrews named the boy Damon after Sox center fielder Johnny Damon. But Andrews has since lost his taste for the Sox partly because of the financial pinch.
