The Sox game was finally here! I had chosen this game wayyyyyyy back in January, as part of Dan's birthday present. I had a whole day planned! We took the 8:53 train in from Attleboro. Dan wanted to stop at McDonald's when we got there, so we stopped at the one right after the Kenmore Subway Station. Then we headed up to Fenway. We got booked on the 12 pm tour. The tour was awesome! We stopped at the Home Plate Grandstand seats, the Right Field Roof seats, The State Street Pavilion seats, and the Monster seats. Carlton Fisk had signed the Fisk pole near the Monster seats, which was cool. I learned that front-row Monster seats really aren't that great! You are far from home plate, and you have about a 15-foot gap section you can't see the field from. Yet they are some of the most coveted seats in Fenway. Go figure!
After the tour, we hopped the green line to North Station and went to The Greatest Bar, near The Garden. My brother had found this great deal online, a pizza and 5 beers for $10! I don't drink beer, so I had water, but Dan polished those beers off no problem! After dinner it was back to Fenway.
We got there about ten past 5. The Sox wives were doing a food drive to benefit the Greater Boston Food Bank, for a donation of $10 or ten cans you got an autographed Sox player picture. I donated ten cans and $40 to get 5 pics. I got Saito, Manny DelCarmen, George Kottaras, Papelbon, and Rocco Baldelli! Not bad! I also met Terry Francona's Wife and two of his daughters! That was awesome too!
We headed to our seats, right field grandstand, to catch the tail end of batting practice(unfortunately we only saw the Orioles, but I got an AWESOME shot of Varitek warming up with Lester!)and see the game, and what a game it was! Big Papi hit a 3-run homer in the 1st, and Adam Laroche hit a 2-run homer later on. Sox won! All-in-all it was a busy but fun day, and it couldn't have been more perfect!
