The book "Fenway", is a great book which chronicles the history of the Red Sox. It discusses one of the World Championships around 1912. The owner feared that the Red Sox Nation, wouldn't arrive and take their alloted seated assignments in the outfield, thus sold the seats at the booth (Red Sox Nation did arrive later). I don't have the book, but from what I remember, the writer didn't coin the phrase as it was what those fans were called at that time.
Great, then it's settled! The term was started here in New England (like everything else) and I can lay claim to that fact when I debate fans of other teams!
WE ARE SO EFF'N AWESOME!
