FANS DO MATTER

Scott Williamson tells Jeff Horrigan that we, fans, played a part in his decision to drop his demand for a trade.

…Williamson was caught off guard by the passion and intense interest that New Englanders have for the Sox. Living just a few blocks from Fenway Park, he likened his walk to work to a stroll down the red carpet.

``It was awesome,'' the right-hander said. ``My wife and my parents and her parents were just amazed by it. There are all of these people lining the street and cops on horses and they form this long line that you have to walk through to get into the park. It's such a great feeling.''

``To play in Fenway Park in front of a sold-out crowd all the time is amazing, but I can't even explain what it was like in the playoffs,'' Williamson said. ``When the fans were standing and I struck out a guy, it sounded like an airplane was flying right over my head.''
