Singing Scottish soccer supporters crash Toronto Blue Jays road game

If you tuned in to any Toronto Blue Jays broadcast this week, and it sounded more like a FIFA World Cup match than a baseball game, there was a good reason for it.

Thousands of Scottish soccer supporters have taken over Boston over the last week for the FIFA World Cup. Besides drinking the bars dry and watching their beloved national team, these fans have taken a liking to baseball.

The Tartan Army packed Fenway Park on Thursday afternoon during the Blue Jays' series finale against the Boston Red Sox, and they spent much of the afternoon belting out chants and songs.

The atmosphere was so noticeable and loud that Sportsnet broadcasters Dan Shulman and Joe Siddall couldn't help but address it on air.

"The Scottish soccer fans are here again, Joe," Shulman said during the broadcast. "I think their team plays tomorrow night again. They are having a heck of a time in Boston between soccer matches."

Shulman went on to add that the Scottish soccer supporters have brought an energy to Fenway Park that would otherwise not be there, considering that the Boston Red Sox sit dead last in the AL East standings and have only scored four runs in the last three days.

Siddall agreed.

"Based upon the soccer fans we saw last night leaving the ballpark, they may have slept here," he joked.

"We understand that certain concession stands, especially the ones serving those drinks, have done robust business over the last couple of days."

The Tartan Army spent much of the game singing its signature "No Scotland, No Party" chant before eventually breaking into John Denver's classic "Take Me Home, Country Roads" by the seventh inning.

The Scottish supporters have become one of the viral fan stories of the FIFA World Cup's opening week. They've earned a reputation for singing everywhere, draining bars dry, and bringing the party wherever they end up.

Scotland plays Morocco on Thursday night in Boston before heading south to Miami to take on Group C giants Brazil for their last game of FIFA World Cup group-stage play. 

Whenever the Tartan Army leaves town, they'll be missed. It's not every day that a regular-season MLB game sounds like an international soccer match.

And after all, the Scottish supporters have brought good luck to our Toronto Blue Jays, getting their first sweep since the opening series in March.
