AMoB Part 25: The Red Sox at Fenway

[stariel]

Despite the fact that I really don't care about baseball, the Red Sox have been a big part of my Boston experience. And really, what could be more Boston than the Red Sox? I arrived in Boston just before they *finally* won the world series and "reversed the curse" - I was more concerned with the fact that I couldn't sleep because of the people honking outside my window all night.

Well today I *finally* got to go to Fenway Park and see a Red Sox game. Ages ago I won the lottery to purchase tickets to tonight's game against the Yankees and orionnebula was nice enough to pretend to be me and buy the tickets. So tonight we went to the game. It was pretty cool except for the fact that the Yankees won. :(

I asked orionnebula and she agreed that knitting before the game started was completely acceptable, so I did.



We took advantage of the sign for a photo op with socks:



And then the game started. And this girl in front of us had this Madonna-head on a stick because apparently she and A-Rod had an affair or something, so we asked to borrow it and then the girl disappeared and we were left with the head for the rest of the evening.



It made us very very popular.

Do they play baseball in any other countries than the US? I had no idea! ;) Here we see it as an American game. So, which other countries takes part in the baseball world series?

[stariel25]

Yeah, it's pretty misleading. I think there's a team (maybe two?) from Canada but that's it. The "World" Series is the two leagues from the US playing against each other.

But they do play baseball in Japan, because we keep getting their players.

Madonna's coming to Greece in October and the whole country's in a frenzy to get $150 tickets. Oi vey. That's a cute picture with her head though :D

...do you still have the head on a stick?

[stariel25]

Nah, we left it. Somehow we didn't feel the need to keep Madonna's head-on-a-stick since I'm moving and all.

But we do have another picture down by the field with A-Rod and the head...
