He had gone last season with his friend M but alas, there was no ticket for me then. We bought these tickets from a gal at Tm's work who had extras, so we paid just face value. We're in the right field grandstand, here. I always knew that Red Sox fans were serious fans - but I had never had what I am calling "The Fenway Experience". It was like we were sitting amongst a big, extended family. People were more likely to pick up a chant started at the back of the park, and more likely to carry it on longer - they cheered on the pitcher when he'd gotten 2 strikes on the batter (and 2 outs) and they wanted their team back up to bat. I haven't been to many teams parks - Mariner's @ Safeco Field, and Braves @ Turner Field. The fans at those locations are nothing like Red Sox fans. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm sure they're loyal, excited, cheering fans. But Red Sox fans seem to be a whole different breed. I'm glad I got to experience Fenway, filled with Red Sox fans, during our adventure here in Boston.Oh, and I ought to say, the Red Sox beat the Devil Rays 6 to 4. It was also Curt Schilling's 200th win. Tm says he's bound for the Baseball Hall of Fame.

that's a great shot. did you take that? i can't wait to have our first fenway experience next month against our hometown(?) team, the phillies. however, i have a suspicion that we will be cheering on with the red sox breed. ;)
Yup, I took that picture using my camera's "stitch assist" feature. You just put it into stitch assist, and it helps you to take a series of pictures that you can later stitch together on your computer to make a big panoramic shot. Thanks! I thought it turned out pretty well, too :)
