Fiallen Game 3
Our dear friend Bloomer called us up with extra tickets to the Patriots Day afternoon game. We had a great time catching up with him, watching the Sox get another win, spending some time in the sun and then watching some of the Boston Marathon as it runs right past Fenway. We saw some of our old Baker House kids dressed up as the Baker House mascots on the route. Bloomer can see the race from his roof – it’s pretty cool.
Fiallen Game 1
Jeannette got to see the Sox win their second game of the season. Her office tickets are amazing. And as always, beating the Yankees is also super fun. DP‘s entrance is now All of the Lights. Awesome, Laser Show. The video did not come out too well. Next game we’ll try to get a better one. For now, here is one (at times move-y) of Papelbon‘s entrance.
We finally were able to attend our first Red Sox – Yankees game at Fenway… We got tickets through the lottery… obstructed view tickets! But they were our first obstructed view tickets we’ve ever had at Fenway so it was a little fun, in and of itself.
Jeannette’s folks were in town and since the Sox were playing so poorly we were able to get reasonably priced tickets for them to come too. The game ended up getting postponed due to rain after we waited at the park for 3 or 4 hours without even one pitch being thrown. When we came back for the game the next day, there were so many open seats we were able to all sit together. Our delayed game was the SECOND game of the double header played, and it began late due to the first game going into extra innings. Then our game went into extra innings – so it was a late night! But the Sox won (7-6)!
We had more standing room only tickets to the Friday night Red Sox – White Sox game, but it was postponed to Saturday due to worries about a hurricane. While the hurricane never amounted to anything in Boston, we were really happy because now our tickets for a dreary, cold, drizzly late Friday night game transformed into tickets for a warm and sunny, Saturday afternoon game! No matter that the Sox lost 1-3. More importantly, we didn’t have regular old SRO tickets – we had extra special Budweiser Roof Deck tickets! We had one of the best locations in the park! Though the tickets would have stunk had it been drizzly! We even got a little sunburned!
Our new view!
