Scotland's World Cup fans helped make brutal Red Sox season hurt a bit less

[ASFN Admin]

What do you do in Boston after your Scotland World Cup team wins 1-0 over Haiti and you have nothing to do until your next match on Friday? The answer is obvious: If the Red Sox are in town, you go to to the hallowed grounds of Fenway Park.

But there's more here. Scotland fans didn't just show up and enjoy the game. They treated it like a World Cup match, marching en masse to the game, playing bagpipes and singing at the tops of their lungs. This just means that we need more MLB games to feel like soccer contests, but that's for another day.

Let's take a look at all the best moments from the Scotland takeover of the Red Sox game, which was a loss to the Texas Rangers amid a horrible season for the team in Beantown. But maybe this made one night a little brighter in Boston:

Things I never knew I needed: what sounds like half of #Scotland belting out “500 Miles” at full volume at Fenway Park. Video from a pal.#DirtyWaterpic.twitter.com/TKngtmnaxg

They sang Yes Sir, I Can Boogie​

Had to do it! Shoutout to the Red Sox game director for getting the songs right all night.

It really did feel like a soccer game even after it was over!​
