Boston Red Sox fans would rather die than root for the Yankees

In a study that proves internet anonymity and complete lack of consequences makes not for the most accurate of studies, an unofficial survey asking Red Sox fans if they'd ever root for the Yankees is yielding some interesting results.

As of now, over 63 percent say they'd rather die than pull for their bitter rivalry. Thats right, well over half are saying they'd prefer death.

It'd be tricky to really test their mettle on this issue, but something tells me that if faced with the same choice in the real world, that number would be much, much lower.
