Columbus fans show their love of club, name their son "Crew"

MAPFRE Stadium field

There are plenty of stories around MLS of supporters expressing their fandom in extraordinary ways.


One Ohio couple has raised the bar.


Ryan Boesenberg has been a Columbus Crew fan since the club began play in MLS’s inaugural season in 1996. He really, truly cemented his status as a lifelong Crew SC diehard last year, when he somehow sold his then-pregnant wife Cara on the idea of naming their firstborn son “Crew.”


The Crew SC digital team recently produced a video highlighting the family, complete with plenty of cute shots of one-year-old Crew kicking around a stuffed soccer ball.
