Fenway Park memories

Here's a great story about Fenway Park...

I'm sure other people have similar stories. Fenway is more than just a ballpark.

 

*instead, lets use this thread as a way to share fenway stories. I'll start, below.*

Ugh

 

I remember going to a game in like 96 (I was 9) where Troy O'Leary nailed a line drive and knocked some poor guy's teeth out. He was a bloody mess just 5 rows in front of me. I remember telling whoever was with me that O'Leary should have been called out. I wasn't a huge fan back then apparently.

Wow, that really was a great story. Made me feel all warm inside.

 

 

In all seriousness, some of my favorite memories......

My first game ever, Carlton Fisk hitting a homer off Frank Viola (91 or 92 I believe)

Canseco and Vaughn homering in the same game.

Ramon Martinez's first start for Boston.

Watching Bucholz's no hitter 2 years ago...(by far the best experience I have ever had at a pro sporting event).

 

I also saw a Bret Saberhagen rehab start in Lowell, and when I asked Jimy Williams for a autograph, I believe he said something along the lnes of "beat it". Hated him ever since.

I was at the only regular season game last year where the Sox beat the Angels.

-I was at the game when Bryce Florie was hit in the head with a batted ball. Scary stuff.

-I was at Game 5 of the 2004 ALCS, I'll never forget that.

-The game when Scott Hatteberg hit into a triple play and hit a grand slam in two consecutive at bats. That was neat.

 

Can't think of any other specifics off the bat.

I was at a playoff game in 2003 (the only one the Sox lost to the A's).

 

Every other game I've been to the Red Sox won. I went to two games last season, vs. the Yankees (7 to 5) and vs. the A's (12 to 2). The latter was Jason Bay's 2nd game in Boston.

 

The one game I went to in 2007 (vs. the White Sox, Boston winning 11 to 2) was Kason Gabbard's last start in Boston before that horrible trade)

I've only been to Fenway twice so each time has been memorable for me.

Buchholz's no-hitter

Buchholz's no-hitter

 

You were there? Sick.

A 1-0 loss to Mets about 10 years ago when the only run scored was when Wakefield balked him in from 3rd in the eighth.

 

Or the game in 2002 against the Angels when they came back from down 4 in the 9th to tie and then won on a Damon homer in the 10th.

[Paradisecity]

Selling the roof table I had to the Bucholz no hitter and getting so drunk during the actual game that I didn't realize I sold no hitter tickets until 3 weeks later on the way to see a great Schilling v. Clemens game.

I was at a playoff game in 2003 (the only one the Sox lost to the A's).

 

In Oakland? The Sox didn't lose at home that series.

This isn't a Fenway Park memory, but I hope to make it one...so to speak...

 

Also, I just wanted to share this with my friends at TalkSox and I didn't want to start my own thread for it.

Congratulations on your powerful sperm

I've visited Fenway in 1998 and my mother who has passed on couldnt stand the fact I wanted to go there but we went and she loved it so much that we decided to go to go back in 2006 to see two games against the Blue Jays. A experience that I will never truly forget.

 

I'll be up to see one, possibly two games in July so I'm really looking forward to going.

Sorry about your Mom. It's very cool that you were able to have those experiences with her. I've wanted to take my Mom there for years but she has resisted. She's 84 now so it's not to likely to happen.
