Hi there

[Dutch_RSFan]

Hi Red Sox fans!

 

My name is Marc and I'm 38 year old RSox fan from the netherlands.I coach/play b'ball here in Holland for more then 30 years.Through b'ball I was able to visit the US for the 1st time in the 80's and the 1st stadium I visited was old Comisky park @ Chicago.It was a WSox - RSox game with Boston winning 14-8.From that day on I kept following the RSox and needless to say , times were rough for many years!

Just like the most of you I went nuts in 04 where the curse was finally broken and the sox won their first ws since 1918.Not the ws but the ALCS v our biggest rivals was the highlight for me.I have been fortunate to see the sox play in Chicago,Baltimore and Detroit but never been @ Fenway.

 

I am planning to schedule a trip to Boston somewhere in 2010 just to visit the city and see a couple of games v the yankees.

 

Greets from Holland to all of you!

 

Marc

Hi Marc,

 

I'm new here too but welcome! I'm a RS fan by birth, lived a lot of my adult life in Europe (Scandinavia) and never saw baseball being played there. Great to know there are baseballers in Holland. Interesting story about how you got hooked.

 

Shame you have to wait till 2010 to visit Fenway. Boston = Baseball. I promise you one thing. Whether the Sox win or lose, you will love the magic of Fenway.

 

Best wishes,

caiside

I lived mostly in Stavanger, Norway and worked in the oil industry, lastly consulting @ Shell. The big sports were soccer, skiing, and skating.
