It's like walking into a shrine or cathedral for the very first time and your neck hurts from gawking at every inch of real estate...the pregame experience hanging out around the park was a good time (especially after paying 45 bucks for parking) The thrill of seeing it for the first time after watching countless games on TV was something else....oh yeah, I also had over 9 and lost, but the bet didn't matter...the eye candy wasn't bad either....:drink:
I am glad Tim Wakefield threw a gem last night (killed all the overs)
How about that Tim Wakefield, hell of a pitcher still got it at 41, a great family man and is well known throughout Major League Baseball as one of its most charitable players in baseball today.
He has been nominated many times by the Red Sox for the Roberto Clemente Award, presented to the player who best reflects the spirit of giving back to the community.
Since 1998, Wakefield has partnered with the Franciscan Hospital for Children in Boston to bring patients to Fenway Park to share time with him and on the field. He has also hosted an annual celebrity golf tournament for 15 years.
Wakefield has also been active with New England's Pitching in for Kids organization (a program dedicated to improving the lives of children across the New England region), the Space Coast Early Intervention Center in Melbourne, Florida, and the Touch 'Em All Foundation founded by Garth Brooks.
In 2007, Wakefield released a charity wine called CaberKnuckle with 100% of the proceeds supporting Pitching In For Kids and raised more than $100,000.
Some human being is that Tim Wakefield, he knows what baseball has done for him and is always ready to give back in the form of charity for kids.
Sports could use all the Tim Wakefields it can get.

...by the way, Fitz and his brother had a beer every inning, and the people who sat near us were not too happy...one fan said who let these bleacher idiots behind home plate??
After winning two championships, I think I'm one of the few in Boston who would like a new park. I'd really love to see the outfield preserved (green monster and bleachers) but renovate the infield so that there is another level of seating (a large upper deck).
If they had more seats, that were more comfortable, and that actually face the infield (I love sitting along the 3rd base line with my neck turned left the entire f'in game).

Aside from all that, it is a great park - and as far as I've seen there is no better location. The bars/eateries in the area are great and make for excellent pre/post game fun.

I always park across the highway from Dillions for 12 bucks. If you don't want to walk, tip a bike guy and have him drive you to the park.
Janet Marie Smith is going to be at the Museum of Science in July to talk about Fenway. My question is which comes first, the 100 lodge seat or a cup holder.
