(Go Sox!)

BOSTON — A judge in Iowa has allowed a man to be temporarily released from jail so he can go see the Boston Red Sox play the Kansas City Royals. Randy Aaron Barker, of Keosauqua, Iowa, was serving a 10-day jail sentence for interference with official acts and violation of a protective order. He is also a big fan of the Boston Red Sox, KCCI.com reported. Saying baseball games are among the “few pleasures” Barker has in his life, his attorney said Barker had long-term plans to attend Wednesday’s game with his father and brother. The judge said the request was “reasonable under the circumstances” and granted the request.

Only in the fucking midwest could something like this happen. I mean those country bumpkins wouldn’t know how to say no to somebody if it slapped them in the face. “Oh hey you’re in jail for interference with official acts and violation of a protective order but the Sox are in town? No problem. Sure you can go to the game. Just don’t rape anybody and make sure you come back or else we’ll really have egg on our face. Deal?” Hilarious! Sometimes I wonder why I ever moved back East after going to school in Michigan. Because I’m pretty sure I could have been named king by now out there. East Coast people just dominate Midwesterners. Fact.
