A New York Englishman goes to Fenway Park

I had to do it. Couldn’t possibly be in town for 3 months and not experience a Red Sox game at Fenway Park. I wasn’t at all disappointed. I know New York Mets fans like to delude themselves that they are the best fans in the world, but this is one Mets fan who always found that claim to be a rather sad joke. Is it because I have been to Football matches in England and seen what real fans are? Is it because as soon as things don’t go their way, they start booing? Yes, and emphatically Yes!

Fenway was packed, as always. Apparently, they always sell out, although what with no shows, they are never actually full. The crowd is raucous and wonderfully nutty – much more lively that at Shea. The Red Sox won 2-1, but that was secondary for me to actually being in the famous old park and spending an evening with my son, Sean, who had also never been there before. A night I will definitely remember.
