The World Cup is providing international soccer fans an opportunity to attend their first baseball game. To say they are enjoying themselves would be an understatement.
MLB stadiums are being taken over by large groups of World Cup fans, creating soccer-like atmospheres across the league.
Scotland’s fanbase, the Tartan Army, has attended multiple baseball games during the team’s time in the World Cup.
Their first appearance came in Boston at a Rangers-Red Sox game on June 14, the day after Scotland won its first World Cup game since 1990. It was Scottish Heritage Night at Fenway Park, with 4,000 people purchasing seats through an online promotion, which included a blue tartan Red Sox jersey. The Red Sox estimate an additional 1,500 to 2,000 fans from Scotland attended the game.
