Here
is Rob and Jon as we ride the "T" to Boston. Little
did we know that the free ride we got was going to be just the beginning
of the greatest game I have ever been to. And yes, we froze! The picture on the right
is Rob and Jon standing in front of Fenway Park. And yes, I turned
down $850 for our tickets! (I just had to remind everyone of
that |

Here I am checking out all of the media trucks that were there. 15 on that one street. Like my red hair? To say there was a media frenzy would be an understatement. |

Jon and I went to the 2 greatest sporting events of the year in the last week and a half. Being at Gampel when UConn wins the National Championship and then sitting front row on the Green Monster to see and boo ARod's (aka PayRod, A-Fraud, after he struck out...KRod, after he dropped the ball... E-Rod, and wearing the yellow pants to Fenway...GayRod) in the "Showdown in April". I can't believe the security guy took all of our A-Fraud signs we were handing out. I don't even have one as a souvenir. You can see one of the A-Fraud signs on the table in the 3rd picture above. |

Here is the new Ted Williams statue that was unveiled today. Teddy ballgame will never be forgotten in Beantown for all that he did for the Red Sox and the Jimmy Fund!!! | ||
Here I am with Bob Lobel of the Boston
Globe & NESN and former Red Sox Sam Horn on top of the Green Monster. When
I asked for a picture Sam said, "with hair like that, of
coarse"! When Sam was heading home, he made it a point to stop by me
and hit me
on the chest and say, "See ya buddy". |

"MANNNNY....MANNNNY....MANNNNY...MANNNNY!!! It
is all our fault that he dropped that ball. Never yell at Manny when
he is going to catch the ball. 2 hands, Manny, 2 hands!!! I
don't care what anyone says, Manny's the Man! Thanks for waving to
us everytime we yelled at you, every 2 minutes. Remember, 2 hands!
Thanks for showing Johnny Damon (aka Caveman, Heyseuss, and Unibomer) how
to catch the ball between innings. |

Wonder what it looks like from the best seats in baseball?

The Yankees wanted UConn
coach Jim Calhoun to throw out the first pitch at an upcoming game. But as
a lifelong Red Sox fan who grew up in Braintree, Mass., the coach of the
national champions didn't want anything to do with the Evil Empire.

On April 16, 2004, the
New York Yankees visited Fenway Park to play the Boston Red Sox for the
first time of the year. After last years playoff series (this game
was exactly 6 months from the day that series ended) and the off season
trade of ARod, the hype behind this series grew to the most anticipated
game in the history of MLB in April. 5 hours before the game, the
street around Fenway were packed with fans and media. The game had
the feel of a October Playoff game. During the day, the Red Sox unveiled
and dedicated the Ted Williams statue that now stand outside of Fenway.
Mike and the Mad Dog from WFAN 660 in New York broadcasted their daily
sports show live from atop the Green Monster. ESPN's also
broadcasted Sportscenter from there. The game dominated sports talk
shows all around the country. In Cincinnati, Lance McAllister told
his listeners how great it would be to see the game from on top of the
Green Monster. Well, we had that opportunity. And Lance, there
are no better seats in America to watch a baseball game.
