Sunday, July 3, 2016 – Fenway Park, Section 42 Red Sox 10, Angels 5 After a personal 5-0 record in May games, I went a dismal 0-5 in June, so I was happy to turn the figurative page to July. But mostly I was happy that I didn’t have a ticket to Saturday night’s game, […]

Price wasn’t bringing his hands and leg up as high this season. The pitcher concurred, […]
Then And Now
Monday, May 9, 2016 – Fenway Park, Section 30 Red Sox 14, A’s 7 May 9 is what I like to call my “Fenniversary” – the anniversary of my first game at Fenway, 29 years ago in 1987. Since I was in the park again on that date, I decided to start by heading out […]
