Grandslam!


I was fortunate to be in Boston Friday night and attend the Orioles vs. Red Sox Sox game. The Sox are one of the original American League teams and their field Fenway Park is almost as old as the team. Going to a game at Fenway is an amazing experience by itself. Mainly because the the Sox fans are some of the most 'rabid' fans in the world, and if you get a great game like we did, it is even better. Anyone who has been to Fenway and seen the movie 'Fever Pitch' know that the dramatization is not too far off from reality.
There were three home runs Friday night, including a grandslam. A stand up triple and a total of twenty hits for the game, lots of offense. The Sox were down early 7-0, but rallied back for the 10-8 win. Anyway, it was a great night, beautiful weather, great game, great fans and atmosphere.
The last game at Fenway I went to was also against the Orioles, the Sox won and went on to win the World Series, maybe their luck will improve (they are currently in last place in their division) and they can do it again. Stranger things have happened!

Cool! I really liked Fever Pitch by the way. Abe and I are really hoping to catch a Cubs game this year. Maybe if you come out for work we can meet you.
