The official start to the 2008 baseball season is about a month away, but the age-old rivalry between the Yankees and Red Sox is already getting ugly.
A group of men — some with Irish accents — beat up a 23-year-old Cambridge, Mass., man after they spotted him sporting a Yankees baseball cap, police said.
Witnesses told police the group of apparent diehard Red Sox fans beat up the victims after an argument inside a Central Square bar. The group then ran away on Massachusetts Avenue toward Harvard Square.
The Yankees fan was transported to the hospital at 1:41 a.m. Sunday for medical treatment for head injuries, including face swelling and several facial cuts, according to police reports.
The victim’s girlfriend told police the couple went to the Cantab Lounge at 738 Massachusetts Ave. on Saturday night. The couple was inside the bar for a while when a large group of people came up to them and started arguing with the victim because he was wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap, according to police reports.
The couple left the bar without further confrontation, but the group followed them outside on the street as they walked home, according to reports.
The mob of Red Sox fans allegedly threw the victim to the ground and repeatedly kicked him. The girlfriend and a couple of women who were with the suspects unsuccessfully tried to pull the Red Sox fans off the victim, according to police reports.
The victim told police he could not clearly remember what happened and only recalled getting into an argument about his baseball cap, leaving the bar and lying on the ground while the men kicked him in the head.
The attackers are described as four white men. One of the men was last seen wearing a blue-and-white striped shirt.
