Happy Home Opening Day

Finally

Today at a little after 2:00pm Eastern Daylight Savings time, the Boston Red Sox will play a home game.

Finally.

Happy Fenway Opening Day, everyone. Happy we finally will have a string of games we can actually watch on TV or listen to on the radio without sacrificing an entire night’s worth of sleep.

Finally.

The pictures are old because I haven’t been to Fenway Park in about a decade. Maybe I’ll sneak to a game this year. Maybe I’ll grab a standing room only ticket to some random night game. Standing room only, of course, because Fenway Park is not friendly to tall people. Leg room apparently wasn’t a thing in 1912 when the park first opened.

  1. I really wanted to tour Fenway Park when we were in Boston a couple of years ago, but we weren’t even in town one whole day; it was just an excursion on our New England cruise. I’d like to come back when I have time to do Boston right, including Fenway. I’ve been to Wrigley already; I want to visit the only baseball temple still standing!

    1. The Fenway Park tour is short and sweet, but it’s worth it (assuming they still do the same tour I did back in 2005, I think). The reality is that Fenway is kind of a dump. The seats are tiny and there is no leg room and many of them face the wrong direction, but I love every inch of the place and wish I could spend more time there.

      1. Yeah, it’s more the history of it. I mean, Ted Williams and Yaz and Pudge played there, along with so many other legends.
