BaseballThe Boston Red Sox return home to Boston today for their home opener at Fenway Park after a week long road trip to open the 2013 season.

Flashback Friday

YazThis week the Boston Red Sox started the 2013 Major League Baseball season playing the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium on Monday so I figured I’d use the start of baseball season as an excuse to post this image of Carl Yastrzemski, better known to fans as Yaz.  Carl Yastrzemski played for the Red Sox for 23 seasons and was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1989.

Red Sox and Yankees play this weekThe dreaded New York Yankees open their 2013 baseball season playing the blessed but often misunderstood Red Sox in New York City this afternoon.  Both teams are saddled with a lot of baggage, but fans from both cities will no doubt be filled with hope.

A day at Fenway

Last weekend I made what is likely my final visit to Fenway Park since the Red Sox season has been more than disappointing and will conclude at the end of this month. It was easy to forget about their abysmal season since I was accompanied by my two nephews and brother. Boston GuyThat’s my brother far left followed by Jack and Austin.  It is hard to say what was their favorite part of the day: the game, the food, or the play ground afterward.   My favorite moment was when my nephew, Jack, told his younger brother, Austin, “when you go to middle school the playgrounds are just grass and you have to learn to deal with it, because life is hard.”

Fenway Park

Boston Red SoxYesterday I went to Fenway Park for the first time this season.  The weather could not have been better with the sun shining and temperatures in the upper 80s it seemed more like August than April. Unfortunately the Red Sox lost but it didn’t take away from our fun. Below are few photos of Fenway Park; the oldest Major League Baseball field.  Later this week Fenway will celebrate it’s 100th birthday.

Scored tickets to Red Sox game on Patriot’s Day

The Red Sox start their first home series of the year against Tampa Bay, and I’ve just been invited to join neighbors to the Patriot’s Day game.

For those unfamiliar, Patriot’s Day is one of those unique holidays that Boston and surrounding communities celebrate. It is also the day The Boston Marathon is run.  The entire city comes alive with fans pouring into the city to watch the Red Sox alongside tens of thousands of runners and enthusiasts who pack Boston to cheer on or participate in the oldest (and one of the most difficult) marathons in the world.

I can hardly wait for Patriot’s Day on Monday, April 16th.
