Best. Day. Ever.
September 19, 2015 My Day with the World Series Trophy Today was the Best. Day. Ever. All summer long I’ve been scanning my season ticket holder card at games and watching for code words on TV to earn rewards points. I used the points to enter a raffle… and won! And it was the best […]

Truck Day 2014
Saturday, February 8, 2013 – Fenway Park With the “boys of summer” stretching the baseball season late into October last year, this has actually been a shorter off-season than most. But with last year as exciting as it was, and winter colder than usual, the new season can’t start soon enough for me. So of […]

Christmas at Fenway
Saturday, December 14, 2013 – Fenway Park Christmas at Fenway Ever since the Red Sox made Christmas at Fenway an invitation-only event after the chaos of the 2004 free-for-all, I’ve never been selected in the lottery to attend. This year was no different, as I received my rejection letter during the week. That meant I’d […]

The End is Near
Wednesday, September 22, 2010 – Fenway Park, Section 43 Red Sox 6, Orioles 1 After having gone to Tuesday’s game, I was glad I had taken Wednesday off from work, so I was able to sleep in and then go in to Wednesday’s game early. It was probably my last chance to see the Red […]

A Turn for the Worse
Tuesday, September 21, 2010 – Fenway Park, Section 38 Orioles 9, Red Sox 1 As the number of days left in the season started to dwindle, I knew I’d have to make the most of my remaining games. I had games on consecutive nights – Tuesday’s was in the 4-pack that had included Opening Day, […]

Derby Day
Saturday, July 31, 2010 When the Red Sox returned from their west coast road trip, I heard that David Ortiz was going to be bringing the trophy he earned when he won the All-Star Home Run Derby to his Framingham restaurant, Big Papi’s Grille. He was going to be there in person on Friday morning, […]
Welcome Back, Daubach
Saturday, June 5, 2010 Red Sox Team Store’s Fan Appreciation Day During the week I received an email from the souvenir store across the street from Fenway (I’ve always called it by its original name, Twins, but in recent years it’s changed to the Yawkey Way Store and most recently the Red Sox Team Store) […]
