Tacoby Shellsbury revisionism

There's a Web meme that needs to stop now: That Tacoby Shellsbury t-shirts went on sale solely to capitalize on Ellsbury's steal last night (the meme apparently started here).

In fact, it all started with Sean Graham announcing his run for RSN president on a taco platform way back on Oct. 22. He wants Fenway Park to sell tacos and proposed a mascot named Tacoby Ellsbury to help his campaign. For those of you with short memories, such as, oh, the author of the above boston.com blog post, this was back before the World Series. A friend of Graham's then whipped up some Cafe Press Tacoby Shellsbury shirts that very same day. So nothing at all to do with whoring for some saturated-fat franchise and everything to do with one fan's love of real tacos.
