Fenway Punk With Chris Wrenn

Fenway Punk With Chris Wrenn

Between the years of 1999-2004 there was no bigger rivalry in sports than that of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. These two storied baseball teams have always had a bitter rivalry, but it hit new levels during this five year period.

A group of guys from Boston's vibrant punk rock scene decided to take advantage of this by selling shirts and stickers with the slogan "Yankees Suck." It was simple but effective. The shirts took over New England, and the rest of the country. It became a rally cry as the 2004 Red Sox went on to win their first World Series Title in 86 years.

One of those guys, Chris Wrenn, took all the money he made and funneled it right into his record label, Bridge Nine Records. Over the last couple of decades Bridge Nine has released some of the most important records in the hardcore music scene. None of that would've happened without the Yankees Suck shirts.

Chris shares the wild story of how all of this happened in his new book, "Fenway Punk: How A Boston Indie Label Scored Big On Baseball's Biggest Rivalry." The book is out on 2/10/26.
