I was at Fenway on Friday night. I brought my 4 year old son to his first game. WOW what a night.
It took us 1:45 to drive in (that usually take 30 mins). The stupid asses that run the tolls need to look at sports schedules and realize it's Friday night and people are going into the City for fun/Red Sox ect. Can't believe that. Then everything changed.... We found free parking 5 minutes from the park, we had standing room tickets, but found some great seats, then meet and got a signed ball from Sam Horn, then the sox won 5-2. We where gonig to leave and I thought "maybe they'll put the game on the Jumbo". My son is 4 and I had to realize that my wife might get angry keeping him in Boston all night, but I thought this could be an amazing memory for him and me. So we stayed. We all know what happened next, we had a small cheering crew up on the RF Roof Deck (the tables) surrounding my little man telling him he was the good luck charm ect. He thought he won the AL Title all by himself. We ran down the RF wall half way between the poll and the bullpen. Coco, Mike Lowell, Cora, and Papi came down the line to slap us a HUGE 5. Big Pappi missed slapping my son 5 so he stopped and went back to give him a SUPER 5. The guys where going crazy, the fans where going crazy, and to think all of those people that left the game. Thats why I drive in vs. the T.
What a 1st game for my little man. I only wish I had a camera with me. If anyone has some pictures of the RF area during the Celebration. I was wearnig a Patriots home jersey (Brady). Which is now my lucky shirt.
