Futures at Fenway, Part 2

Gary — Fri, 09 Jan 2009 17:00:53 +0000

So you’re looking at this scoreboard and wondering how it can be all zeroes on the linescore and yet the score is 3-3? Pat yourself on the back if you can tell that this game – the first of two – has now gone into the twelfth inning with the score tied at three. There are gripping low scoring tied games that go into extra innings; this was not one of them. Lowell left 14 runners on base before finally scoring the winning run in the bottom of the twelfth for a 4-3 win.

Futures at Fenway is an annual Red Sox minor-league affiliate doubleheader at Fenway Park. For the players, it’s a chance to play on the field that the big boys play on; for most players, it’s probably the only way they got onto the major league field. It’s always a good time for the fans because it’s a chance to see a game at storied Fenway Park without paying the exorbitant prices scalpers charge for Red Sox games.

For the last batch of photos from the Fenway Park set, I make my way up to the Green Monster.

Back in October, I took a tour of Fenway Park on the day after the Red Sox had taken a 2-0 lead in the World Series. You can tell they won Game 2 since it’s still up on the Green Monster.

The infamous seat where a Yankee fan was hit in the head and promptly became a Red Sox fan.

Wooden seats in the grandstand – they’re neat but not all too comfortable.

Roaming around Boston

Taking a three-day weekend as an opportunity to escape NYC, I made my way up to Boston early Friday afternoon. Thanks to the awesome graciousness that is Justin and Dori, I had an apartment to crash in even though they weren’t around this weekend. With camera in hand, I set out to explore Boston.

Since their apartment is on Beacon St right on the border between Brookline and Boston, I got some shots of a Green T Line train heading underground from the St. Mary’s St station to Boston.

A short walk later, I found myself on Landsdowne St – though not a part Fenway Park itself, the street is closed off on game days and accessible only to ticket holders.

A row of postseason banners along the side of the ballpark.

Of course, the curse-lifting 2004 banner may be the most celebrated around these parts.

Then the rain came…

Luckily, I had the company of a cute dancer to wait out the rain with me.

After the rain died down, I walked back to the apartment. I passed the infamous Citgo sign on the way back – can you believe how far from Fenway the sign is? It always looks so much closer on TV.

The next day, I had dim sum in Chinatown – you know it’s Chinatown because there’s the tell-tale entrance arch.

Susan and Michael with the arch in the distance.
