Affleck getting questions for Cardinals shirt

Ben Affleck is a diehard Boston Red Sox fan.

Affleck, who’s been in Cape Girardeau on and off for weeks filming the 20th Century Fox feature film “Gone Girl,” is famously a Bostonian, and he loves his Sox.

Photos circulated widely on local Internet sources a couple weeks back of Affleck wearing a St. Louis Cardinals T-shirt while shooting in Cape Girardeau with Tyler Perry. Of course, the Cardinals shirt was part of his character’s outfit. What red-blooded fictional Missouri male wouldn’t wear Cardinals gear?

Now Internet media is picking up on the Cardinals T-shirt-wearing New Englander, since the Cardinals and Red Sox are meeting in the World Series.

Here’s a link to a Fox Sports Midwest blog about “The Photo”: http://www.foxsportsmidwest.com/mlb/st-l….

Note: The photo was taken before the Cardinals and Red Sox won their respective league championship series, setting up the World Series matchup.
