Me & Joy

Joy

Casey Kotchman’s RBI Double

I didn't bring a telephoto lens on this trip, so this is about the best photo I have of the game!

What makes Fenway, Fenway.

A silly little detail, but one I loved. They've installed these lovely high-resolution multi-colour animation-capable LCD displays, but show the scores, stats and messages in a dot-matrix font that resembles the screens they replaced.

Fenway Park

Our friend Cheryl is awesome

A mystery UPS sticky on the door turned out to be for this fantastic Fenway Park print, a surprise gift from our friend Cheryl (shortly to be appearing in Boston in The Superheroine Monologues). This will be hung in our apartment with pride.

Jubilation

Seconds after Manny's decisive walk-off home-run.

(I like how arty this shot appears, when really it was just taken before my camera had completely woken up and adjusted to what was going on!)

Helpful Reminder

You have twenty minutes to run, if you want to catch the T home. Stupid 8:30pm starts!

View from Grandstand 7 Row 12

Not as good as our normal seats (pillars preventing us from seeing home plate or the Pesky Pole very well), but still a fun place to spend an evening.

At last! The secret formula! It is mine!

Spotted on a door at Fenway: The secret instructions for making a footlong hotdog. WIth this recipe, I shall RULE THE WORLD!

Spot the life-long Sox fan

Joy and my parents at Fenway Park.

You'll note that my dad (who's never been to a baseball game before) and my mum (who's been once) are both wearing Red Sox jackets. I'd mentioned to them the night before that it can get kind of chilly in the evening, so they should maybe bring a jacket. So when they happened upon Red Sox jackets at Marshall's earlier in the day, they snapped them up.

Classy!

Yet more Japanese

WEEI and ESPN Radio were both handing out Japanese signs for the crowd to hold up. No idea what they say, though. (Outside the park after the game, the Sully's Tees folks were selling shirts that said "YANKEES SUCK" in Japanese. Some things are universal)

Mr Dice, Meet Mr K.

These guys were a couple of rows back from us. Joy & I are totally going to rip off their idea this Hallowe'en.

Japanese Baseball Cheers

Handed out outside the park.

Matsuzaka 18

First person I saw with a MATSUZAKA 18 shirt on. Saw a fair few people who'd recycled their "DAMON 18" shirts from before he went evil.

Popeye’s Chicken Welcomes Japanese-Speaking Red Sox Fans

First piece of Japanese writing I saw near Fenway, outside the Popeye's Chicken.

View from the State Street Pavillion

Managed to get a pair of "Standing Room" tickets in the "State Street Pavillion" at Fenway. Since it was a pretty grey day, not everyone had shown up, so we had seats for the whole game. Result!

Monster Joy

Joy on the Green Monster. As opposed to next to the green monster.

View from the Monster

We had Green Monster tickets for tonight's Sox game. Since our normal seats are way back in right field, this was quite a different view!
