At Fenway

We are driving to Boston today and will see the Red Sox on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

If you are at either game and want to say Hello, you will find us at:
Tuesday: Section 30, Row 15, Seats 14-17
Wednesday: Section 19, Row 14, Seats 1-4
And because I know them off the top of my head, here are my last five games at Fenway:
September 22, 2003 - After a 1918 reading at the Kenmore Square Barnes & Noble, it's off to watch the Red Sox beat the Orioles 7-5. (The really fun game was the next night.)

May 8, 2004 - Curt Schilling pitches a complete game over the Royals and Pokey Reese hits two home runs, one of them an inside-the-parker. Red Sox 9-1.

July 20, 2005 - Laura and I celebrate the 20th anniversary of the day we met by watching the Red Sox score six runs in the first and cruise to a 9-4 victory over the Devil Rays on a perfect summer afternoon.

July 28, 2009 - JoSapalooza I! Jonathan Papelbon cannot hold a three-run lead in the ninth and the Red Sox lose 9-8 to the A's in 11 innings.

July 29, 2009 - We return the following evening to see Brad Penny give up five runs to the A's in the top of the first. The Red Sox chip away, but lose 8-6.
I'm not so greedy as to demand two victories, but I do expect one win.

    I'm right by exit 2 on the Pike. Wave as you go by. I'll wave at some random point today.

    Have a great time!

    Oh, I was at that game. In the 8th, we snagged some empty seats 2 rows behind home plate. It will not soon be forgotten.

    You'll see the Lib Dooley fan award presented on Tuesday. Maybe you'll win!

    And hopefully you'll meet Kim and I on Wednesday.

    I thought you guys were getting box seats. ?

    If you want to drive a few (!) miles further south, I'll wave too!

    Have a great trip. Two wins, please.

    May 8, 2004 - I was at that game! The inside the park job by Pokey was the most electric play I've ever had the pleasure of seeing in person.

    My first time in Fenway as a Sox fan.

    This doesn't quite do justice to the pain. Didn't we have a 6-run lead at one point?

    Have already had a reunion with our wonderful niece, and am totally looking forward to seeing Amy, Joe, Jere, Matty... and meeting Kim!! Super bonus!

    I'm right by exit 2 on the Pike. Wave as you go by.

    Nick, I hadn't seen this, yet mentioned you around that exit and said it would be great to see you and Emma again.

    Ah, it was our 6 runs I remembered, not a 6-run lead. It was 6-2 at one point, a 4-run lead. Ugh.

    Better game tonight, I hope!
