Scottish spirit 'has no equivalent in American sport'
· Yahoo Sports
Scotland supporters' visit to Fenway Park was "one of the most moving things" witnessed at the famous baseball ground, says Boston Red Sox president Sam Kennedy.
A large gathering of the Tartan Army attended last week as the Red Sox lost to the Texas Rangers, with the Scotland fans in high spirits after the opening World Cup Group C win against Haiti.

The city of Boston welcomed thousands of travelling supporters for the Scots' opening two fixtures, with Steve Clarke's men finishing their group campaign in Miami against Brazil on Wednesday after losing to Morocco on Friday night.
In a letter to Scottish FA president Mike Mulraney and chief executive Ian Maxwell, Kennedy expressed thanks.
"Kilts and Scottish flags filled our ballpark with a spirit that has no equivalent in American sport," Kennedy wrote. "It was genuinely one of the most moving things we have witnessed at Fenway Park in a very long time.
"Throughout its 114-year history, Fenway Park has seen World Series championships, historic rivalries, and more than a few unforgettable nights.
"And yet on Sunday evening, a ballpark that is typically filled with a baseball crowed became, for a few hours, a meeting point between two sporting cultures. Our fans embraced your supporters without reservation.
"Scotland's return to the World Cup after 28 years deserves every bit of the enthusiasm your supporters brought to Boston. We are proud that Fenway Park could be part of this chapter in your celebration."
