Boston Sox and Secrets of Better MLB Teams – Surrounded With Baseball League Fanatics

The city of Boston is closely surrounded with Boston Red Sox minor league affiliated teams. North, West, and South are covered, and to the East is the Atlantic Ocean. We’ve got 3 of the 4 directions covered. That is about as well covered as is possible. And, we have been winning. I believe that a part of that winning has to do with the expansive area that may call the Boston Red Sox their home team.

Boston has a lot going for it, especially what I am calling the secret to winning at baseball, meaning creating loyal baseball fans at high density. Though technically not a really big city; Boston population density is found in the metropolitan coastal areas. This is a part of developing the attention of the metropolitan Boston area, making for crazy crazed baseball fans.

To the southwest, of course we have the Pawtucket Red Sox who are affiliated with the Boston Red Sox, playing at the AAA level. The Pawtucket Red Sox seem to do no wrong, winning their division probably more frequently than any other team.

I can’t stress enough that Cape Cod, southeast of Boston, is home to the Cape Cod Baseball League, which although not directly Boston Red Sox affiliated, this area makes for a strong attention for the pros. Cape League fans are also usually Boston Red Sox fans. The Red Sox grow young fans at these games, where it is often possible to win tickets to Boston Red Sox games. In fact, what actually got me hooked on Pawtucket was winning a raffle prize of seats at McCoy Stadium, while at a Cape Cod Baseball League game.

Moving on, we have to the north of Boston the Boston Red Sox affiliated Portland Sea Dogs who play at AA level in the small city of Portland Maine. Thus, we draw the attention to the Boston Sox through offering a place to see Boston related baseball games. Here to the north.

Last and least, to the northwest we have the Boston Red Sox affiliated Lowell Spinners, of Lowell, MA, playing at the Short Season A Level in the New York-Penn League, albeit this is the weakest connection though it should not be overlooked.

So, there it is! The secret has been revealed. It is to create baseball culture within a high population density city, metropolitan and suburbs areas.

It is scarcely believable years’ back that the Red Sox could win a world series, and Boston is winning regularly now from a the prospective of a Curse of the Bambino years’ fan. Not every year, but comparatively the Red Sox have been winning a lot. It was only a matter of time before this fan network was built.

DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) and Faith

In study of “Dialectical Behavioral Therapy,” I find that DBT is relevant to faithfulness.  DBT understands that our mind is a product of reason and emotions.  Where reason and emotions overlap, there is wisdom to be found.

Faith that comes from the gut, loving-kindness, causes our hearts to ache for those without faith, as victory comes to those with faith.

Faith may also be rational, connecting to the Mind.  Faith helps explain why some live blessed and why some don’t.  Undersized, malnourished children, with bellies full of worms, AIDS, and malaria; such persons are charged with having to respect their ancestors, even though their ancestors are to blame.  Torah explains this horror.

Yet, my reality is such that when I experience something good, I give thanks.  I thank Gd for not making me like the other man.  Time, reason, tells me my reality will unfold according to Hashem’s blessings, because as though I am puffed up, the righteous will live by my kind of faith (Habakkuk 2:4), both Jew and gentile.
