Will people in Boston take offense if you wore a Los Angeles Dodgers cap in their city?

[Anonymous]

I plan to visit Boston and parts of Massachusetts/New England in a couple weeks. I'm a California girl from the LA area. I hear that Boston is the only city in the country where you cannot wear any caps representing other sports teams, only Red Sox. Or the locals will angrily harass you.

Is this true? Or should I leave my Dodgers hat at home?

And it's not just during game day, but in general. I've heard that in the middle of winter, some visitors had their (insert mlb team/city, sans Boston Red Sox) caps snatched off their heads and burned by Bostonians. Tell me that doesn't happen.

[AI Opinion]

Boston is known for its passionate sports fans, especially when it comes to the Red Sox. While wearing a Dodgers cap might spark some friendly ribbing, it's unlikely to cause any serious issues. Most people understand that visitors may support different teams. If you encounter any comments, it’s usually in good fun. Enjoy your trip and feel free to express your team pride. 😊

Not at all. Anyone who beats the Yankees is okay.

So it's only Yankees hats that people in Boston hate?

Other MLB teams are accepted?

yes pretty much.
