My first Red Sox game

[James]

18th july in Toronto.

Went on holiday from Scotland early to catch this game and we got beat 6-2.

Brad Penny wasa Bad Penny for sure.

Players running into each other etc,it was a poor performance,after a good start.

It was great to see thousands of other Sox fans at the game and i wore my shirt for the first time with pride.

Thanks to my friend Angela from the red Sox nation for sending me my shirt over from the US.

Atmosphere at BB games is crap at the best of times,but at least Sox fans try to up the anti in games.

I am a football(soccer)fan,so im used to having a better atmosphere at games,but i wish it would be better,than fans waiting on some guy on a stupid organ giving them the cue,to shout or clap for 5 seconds,i know its a more laid back game,but it still could better.

Funny thing was that other fans didnt say even hello each other,which i found strange,well we were getting beat,maybe it was that.

I struggled with jetlag and nearly fell alseep a few times,one bit i laughed at was,Jays had one on first base,i looked up and the bases were loaded,i was like WTF,jetlag sucks.lol

I still was so thrilled to see the Sox at last,spoke to a fan from New England in union station after the game.

Everyone seemed on a downer,maybe we have come to realise,that we are struggling more than we are used to at this moment.

It was my second game ever,last year i seen Toronto play the Braves at the Rogers centre.

But i was excited all the way over the pond to see the Sox,getting beat was a let down,but it didnt take away from my experience and seeing so many fans at the game.

Everywere you turned,you see Sox fans,even when the players did their minute or so warm up,the fans were giving it big licks to Papi and co,they were all excited.

We were all built up on seeeing a good performance,but didnt get it,thats why everyone was on a downer i bet.

Seeing Papi,Pedoria etc etc live was awesome.

This is not a moan,but just my view on what happend.

Overall it was great to see the Sox and so many fans,still worth travelling all the way to see them,like lots of fans do.

Now for Fenway park the next time.

The atmosphere in Toronto is not good because that team sucks. When you come to Fenway, you'll notice a huge difference in terms of atmosphere. Glad you enjoyed it!

No baseball crowd can match the intensity of a European soccer game but Fenway is by far the closest. Glad you had fun.

Thanks,cant wait for Fenway.

I am a season ticket holder at a Scottish Football club - and by and large the atmosphere sucks too.

I've never been to Fenway before ...but i've been to plenty of Red Sox games
