Yep, Boston has lost eight of its past 10 and is 12-19, in last place in the AL East. Its enough to make long-time Red Sox fans wear bags on their heads at Fenway. And thats what one fan did and now hes trending on Twitter, due mostly to the (false) report that he was thrown out of the stadium by the team for wearing the bag. <\/p>\n
Meet Jon OHara, 25, known this morning as Bag Guy. The lifelong Red Sox fan from New Hampshire (who happens to be a standup comedian) became so disgusted with Bostons start to the 2012 season that he donned a paper bag for Thursdays game. His bag attire was caught on camera, and quickly hit social media. Then Bag Guy disappeared from his seat in the seventh inning, with many believing that he was tossed from the stadium by Sox security. This caused him to start trending to Twitter, at #FreeBagGuy. <\/p>\n
OHara did several interviews following the game, and gave the real story. <\/p>\n
I had it on until the sixth inning when someone behind me yelled out how long are you going to have that bag on your head. I said the whole game hopefully, and he said can you take it off? I paid $100 for the seat and cant see first base. I turned around and said I paid $4 and took the bag off. <\/p>\n
Far from being mad at Bag Guy, Red Sox staff actually seemed amused. <\/p>\n
They were all actually nice about it, OHara said of the Red Sox staff. The ushers were all laughing really hard. On the way out, they were shaking my hand and were like we hope to see you again. <\/p>\n
So, will he see Bag Guy again at Fenway? <\/p>\n
I probably wont for one reason. I was lucky to go to last nights game. My son is due any day, so Ill probably be taking games off to raise him, said OHara. <\/p>\n
We may have seen the last of Bag Guy, but his legend will never die. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
