red sox recruits

We were brainstorming -ox words and a student suggested the word "sox"

Arguing Class: "Sox isn't a word!"

Me: "Well, boys and girls, there is a professional baseball team called the Red Sox."

Student #1: "Wait....and all you have to do is have red socks to play? Ohhhh...well...then....I can definitely be on that team. Geez. That's just ridiculous."
