Nice to hear... if you ever plan to go to Europe and need a place to crash just let me know... we already hosted two guys from Canada and are always keen to show our city and area to foreigns...

Eeeeehm, what you mean?! An accent when I talk german?!

Hey everybody, don't want to miss the chance to say hello in here as well... my name is Joe (Joachim) and I'm from Nuremberg/Germany. Like you might think now, I get asked quite often how I can be a baseball fan... indeed it's pretty weird for a European. Even I can't explain precisely but this is how it started (If you're interested): I used to be a American Football fan for quite a long time and had no idea about baseball. Some time ago I was able to receive ESPN at home and when I noticed that they're airing ballgames I forced myself to watch a game. Right after that I fell deeply in love with that game and the Red Sox. I've been liking everything about Boston for years (most likely because of the music) and so I guess it just somehow had to happen that way... In Sept 2011 I'm lucky enough to fly to Boston and watch a Red Sox live which excites me already. So far, so good... if you guys have any questions concerning germans (I guess there are still some things you're wondering about ) or something just let me know... Let's Go Red Sox! Joe

Yeah, we haven't been one of the top teams for a few years... but we are still 2nd overall record champions (right after FC Bayern Munich, I'm sure you have heard of them)... Indeed, it wasn't that easy to get into game and understand even not so clear rules and decisions... but with regular watching and asking Wikipedia I'm now pretty capable of following a game But I still understand people (Europeans) who say the find baseball boring and complicated... as well as A. Football, by the way...

Thanks for information. Then I try to find something else... most important is to be there at all... I've been liking everything about Boston for years (most likely because of the music) and so I guess it just somehow had to happen that way... I used to be a American Football fan for quite a long time and had no idea about baseball. Some time ago I was able to receive ESPN at home and when I noticed that they're airing ballgames I forced myself to watch a game. Right after that I fell deeply in love with that game and the Red Sox. But it's pretty sad no one to find to talk about baseball. Well, that's the way it is... if you have ever any questions about (real) football let me know... always a pleasure to introduce people to our no. 1 sport... and if you need a team to root for I can highly recommend the mighty 1. FCN Greetz, Joe

Hey folks, This is Joe from Nuremberg/Germany. I've been a big Red Sox (and Baseball in generell) fan for about 2,5 years now and I'm lucky enough to go to Boston in Sept 2011 to watch a game... a dream comes true! So I'm busy for weeks now to find proper tickets since I only got one chance to attend a game so it's pretty important for me to have seats where nothing blocks my view for instance. Unfortuntely it's pretty hard to read to seating table correctly. So I was wondering if you guys could help me out with giving me some hints where to seat and where better not. I want to visit the game vs. Rays on 09/18/11 (I'm not allowed to post the stubhub.com-link :thumbdown) I don't want to spend more than $100 and good allround view would be sweet. Hopefully I have picked the right forum area, I apologize if I didn't. Thanks and Let's Go Red Sox! :thumbsup: Joe
