Cripple Creek Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 That’s very cool. A pats fan I know was there and he said Young Yaz got quite the ovation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy KGB Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 @Mike in Horseheads I don’t get it. Guy was on the AAA Orioles team and they never called him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snafu Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 I was there. He got a big welcome from the Sox fans. They even cheered his home run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he did. Those are Red Sox fans...the most knowledgable and classiest in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeviF Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Good thing it happened while Carl was still alive, I don't think they let you watch baseball in hell. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it’s Baltimore vs. Detroit, and it’s mandatory. They prop your eyes open like Malcolm McDowell in ‘A Clockwork Orange’. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was lucky enough to be there last night. Had seats on the Monstah. Carl was there. I've never been huge fan of Bostonians, but I must say ... I've been to two games at Fenway in the past two years. They are awesome baseball fans and I love it there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read one story that said he would attend tonight and not last night because he didn't want Mike to be nervous. Cool that you were there to see it live.

Such a great baseball atmosphere (still doesn't beat Citi Field, but I'd say Fenway is a solid 2nd). On my drive home last night, whilst listening to Boston sports radio, they said that Carl may throw out the first pitch tonight and young Yaz may catch it. Now THAT would be cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been a Sox fan since I was 7. Last night was my first time in Fenway. I think there was some fine dust in the breeze during batting practice because I couldn’t quite see clearly. I drove up with my kid (11) from Long Island. Took him out of school early, at Noon. I promised my wife that I’d have him home so he could go to school today (we pulled into the driveway at 2:00am, we left after the bottom of the 9th). If not, I would have sat there all night in a 15 inning game. The weather was perfect. It was a nearly full house on a Tuesday night. That doesn’t happen in NY. I married a Lifelong Mets fan and so they’re my adopted local team. I’ve been all over Citifield, from the upper deck to the literal last seat up in left field to behind the plate and in a box a few times. Citifield is a great ballpark — not a stadium. Fenway is, to me, the original ballpark though it feels weird. It’s almost as though there are as many seats in right and center field as the rest of the park. And the upper deck is small. We were on the first base side in a field box. I’m sure I could have thrown a ball and hit the base of the Monster — at least that’s how close it looked. I’m going to make a point of going to a midweek series next year, especially to catch a day game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been to more than a handful of ballparks and Citi Field, so far, takes the cake for me. Definitely want to check out Camden Yards next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
