Dirty Dancing

October 22nd, 2007 by Damon

Congratulations, Red Sox “Nation”: it appears the wheels haven’t come off your bandwagon yet. With your newfound familiarity with the boys from Beantown, perhaps you could help me out with a tricky question.

When he was just coming out of college, back in 1998, I remember Sports Illustrated or ESPN publishing a piece on J.D. Drew in which he said he doesn’t dance because he considers it prohibited by his Christian faith. However, I’ve had a hard time confirming this online. Does anyone else remember this article (or remember seeing or hearing this elsewhere)? Is it still the case? And if it is, here’s my question: at what point does an elaborate high-five ritual or celebratory pigpile violate that prohibition?
