New York City mayor Bill de Blasio remains a big Red Sox fan

FORT MYERS, Fla. — Bill de Blasio didn’t hide the fact he is a Red Sox fan when he ran for mayor of New York City in 2013.

“I was very upfront about it,’’ he said Saturday during a visit to JetBlue Park to see the Sox play the Baltimore Orioles. “The people were cool because they appreciated the honesty. I think real baseball fans understand you should never abandon the team you grew up with for any reason.’’

Nothing like spending some time with my two great loves: @Chirlane and the @RedSox.
