Fenway visit


Well, I haven't been to Fenway park in 20 years, and now twice within the same year. Back in July I went with a group from work to catch a game. This past weekend my friend Todd invited me along to Futures at Fenway, a 'city inspired' program to get some minor league teams in the park and have really cheap seats so kids and families can actually afford to see a ball game.

We had a blast. I keep forgetting how 'small' fenway is, and pretty much every seat is good. Only one or two catches were blocked by a support pole. We had to bend over a little to see the jumbotron. But we were nice and close to the players.. I'll be a big cheeseball and point you to Todd's blog on the event so I don't have to type everything out. hehe.

After two games I think I would definitely try to catch a game or two next year. Of course, Fenway sells out almost instantly, so it won't be a yankees game or anything, but some of the later games still have seats after the initial flurry of buying. Maybe even try for better seats at neat year's Futures, but not sure if it's worth sitting in the sun for 6 hours to be closer to the players. Or maybe it is....
