Rox gear, a Hip Hop fashion?

I'm a long time reader of Purple Row. I decided to ask here to get answer to my question. Im a big time rox fan and a baseball fan. I live in Jacksonville Florida, so Seeing Rox gear worn by anyone until recently was an extremely rare sight. Lids stores in the area do not stock Rox authentic Ball caps because who will buy them.i get mine preorded or online. But lately, both my wife and I have seen an increase of Rox authentic caps . Now I know winning does wonder's for a baseball team. but I doubt our recent streak and the 2007 run would induce popularity of Rox gear in this area of the country. Is there a popular rapper from Denver wearing rox gear that I don't know about? if not I hope this fad goes away Quickly, so I can go back to being the only one in Jax "reppin" the Rox.

Were the redsox really after helton?

i read this story shortly after epstien resigned.
it gives some information on the blown trade before the deadline which kept bigbie in a rockies uniform perminently. supposedly the rockies were offering shealy aswell. which makes me wonder if the redsox were really trying to get helton instead of shealy.the redsox may have dropped out because the rockies werent trading helton. even though helton trade rumors loomed. the redsox re-signed varitek ofcourse last offseason. even though shoppach was ready for the bigs. this tells me the redsox arent have no patience with prospects.competing teams never do have patience for prospects any way. i posted this on theory on espns boards i wanted to see what everyone here thinks.
