Fenway fun

Some things you just have to experience in person to appreciate. I've had many opportunities to see things I'd never thought I'd see or experience, and Fenway Park last week was one of them.

Let me make it clear that I am NOT a Red Sox fan. In fact I think they are the MOST obnoxious of any fan I have ever met. Last week at the Rockies/Red Sox game in Colorado there were some Red Sox fans behind me that ended up getting thrown out of the stadium. They just kept saying "Fenway is so different, this is like going to church here"...blah, blah, blah wicked annoying accent. All I could think about was how I couldn't wait to see for myself what they were like in Fenway. So here goes...

The fans are no different than anywhere else, other than the fact that like Yankees and Cubs fans they think they are the only true baseball fans on earth (although I like the Cubs). However, the stadium and atmosphere itself was electric. It was fun to soak it all in. And just like my experiences in Wrigley I fell in love with the place. We took the VIP tour where we stood on the field during batting practice, and sat on the Green Monster. The game was kind of lame but it was fun to be in the same place so many of the greats played. When I told Joni I was 10 feet from Evan Longoria (above) she was jealous because she thought I meant the Desperate Housewife. It was a fun trip, but just as good to be back home with my girls.
