A Memorial Day to Forget
Sunday, May 28, 2017 – Fenway Park, Section 43 Mariners 5, Red Sox 0 Sunday of Memorial Day weekend brought a sunny morning, and my warmest game of the year so far. (With all the cold ones I’ve sat through all it took was 62° to beat my previous high.) I drove in early and […]
For The Record
Wednesday, May 24, 2017 – Fenway Park, Section 34 Red Sox 9, Rangers 4 There was an extra buzz heading into my next game. I was excited to see Chris Sale, only the second time I’ve gotten to see him this season. He had struck out at least 10 batters in each of his past […]
Mother Nature’s Day
Sunday, May 14, 2017 – Fenway Park, Section 33 Rays 11, Red Sox 2 The weather forecast wasn’t good for Mother’s Day weekend. Heavy rain was due in Saturday evening and throughout Sunday. The Rays do make another trip to Fenway, in September, so they would be able to make up a game if they […]
Bean Town
Wednesday, May 3, 2017 – Fenway Park, Section 7 Red Sox 4, Orioles 2 Two days after my last game I was headed back to Fenway. (Unfortunately for me the one I missed was another brilliant outing by Chris Sale.) A co-worker’s nephew had an extra ticket, and he let me use it. It was […]
Fenway Parking
Monday, May 1, 2017 – Fenway Park, Section 32 Orioles 5, Red Sox 2 As a season ticket holder, I earn rewards points by checking in to games and watching for code words, and there are items we can buy and raffles we can enter with the points. This year, I entered and won a […]
Can’t Buy A Run
Thursday, April 27, 2017 – Fenway Park, Section 43 Yankees 3, Red Sox 0 A rainout on Tuesday night pushed all the pitchers back a day, meaning that instead of seeing Drew Pomeranz pitch against the Yankees, I was going to get to witness the artistry of Chris Sale, who was off to a ridiculously […]
Knuckled Under
Wednesday, April 12, 2017 – Fenway Park, Section 43 Orioles 12, Red Sox 5 You could say the first week of the season “flu” by, with many key players on the team hit by either influenza, a stomach bug, or a respiratory bug, all of which were circulating through the clubhouse. Add to that two […]
Game 1 A.D.
Monday, April 3, 2017 – Fenway Park, Section 32 Red Sox 5, Pirates 3 Every year, I make the same tweet on the morning of the home opener: #OpeningDay is my favorite holiday. Sorry, Christmas! — Kristen C (@Red_Sox_Diehard) April 3, 2017 Though this marked my 17th Fenway Park Opening Day, there were a couple […]

Road Trip to Port Charlotte
Sunday, February 26, 2017 – Charlotte Sports Park, Port Charlotte Rays 7, Red Sox 3 Today was the first road game for the Red Sox, a short drive north to Port Charlotte to take on the Rays. It was also my last game before heading much further back north. We know going in that for […]

Home Whites
Saturday, February 25, 2017 – JetBlue Park, Ft. Myers Red Sox 8, Twins 7 Saturday brought the third game of the spring calendar, and the first where the team was wearing their home white uniforms. Again we arrived in the morning before the gates opened and went around back to see what was going on. […]
