Doc's right. They celebrate all the New England states. They've been doing it for a few years now. Why they celebrate turncoat Connecticut, I don't know.
The Best part of the day was when they announced the Red Sox players going to the all-star game. They announced Tim Wakefield's name last. After 17 seasons in the Major leagues, 15 with the Red Sox, this will be Wakefield's first All-Star game. He recieved a very loud, very long, 3+ minute sustained standing ovation from the crowd at Fenway. It was the greatest ovation I've been a part of.

And Rhode Island's standard flying below Old Glory at Fenway. (I know it looks like a surrender, but there's an anchor and 13 stars with the word "HOPE" on it)
