Redsox 5, Orioles 1

I went to the Redsox game yesterday at Fenway Park. It was an unbeleivably beautiful day for a ball game. 73 degrees at game time and a slight breeze blowing out to the Green Monster in left field. The Sox got a tremendous outing from Pitcher David Wells, and a 3 run blast from their new power slugging first baseman John Olerud.

My best friend J. T. , treated myself and his cousin, to the game. After meeting at 9am and traveling the 90 miles to Boston, we were able to find a free on street parking spot for free. Thus avoiding an up to $50 fee to park.

I split a pizza with JT at Uno's before the game. It was their new Farmer's Market pizza - an all veggie deep dish pie that was really good despite having eggplant in it. You could really taste all the ingredients and the best pizza crust in the world was perfect. We also split an order of boneless buffalo wings. They were tasty and not too spicy hot. Many hot wing lovers however may find them not hot enough for their tastes, but I like it when the heat doesn't mask the flavor.

We also watched some of the players arrive. Most in BMW's or Mercedes.
When we went into the park, I was patted down. (That's a cell phone in my pocket, buddy)

We had obstructed view seats in the last row behind the section 18 post. But hey, I wasn't paying so I'm not complaining. I had plenty of fun, and it was great to be back at Fenway at all. I hadn't been to a game for a couple of years. I liked the changes they have made. The new Green Monster seating above the left field wall and terrace behind sec#17. All I had at the game was a frozen lemonade (like a popsicle) for $3. A bit expensive, but it sure was what I needed at the time.
