So, that's a home run...

Although I've been here for almost eight months, last Wednesday I finally had the opportunity to attend a Red Sox game at Fenway. We walked from MIT to the stadium... that's when I realized how close we are, and perhaps how small this city actually is. Coming from Mexico City, I believe that if you can go walking, it's very close. Anyway, the weather was beautiful, and stayed that way for the entire evening (and night). Those are the days when you should go out for a walk, even if you have nowhere to go... and in Boston, you can't know when these days will come.

Anyway, the game was amazing... I don't know if it was because it was my first time there, or Fenway is a good place for watching baseball, or beer makes you feel excited even in a not-so-good game. I don't know, perhaps 4 home runs in one inning is a clear sign you're watching a bad pitcher... but Red Sox won, who cares!! It's great to see the ball flying over the famous Green Monster.

So, going to a Red Sox game is a MUST. You can camp outside Fenway the week prior to the ticket selling day, or you can go to stubhub.com... or better than that, you can find a Bostonian Red Sox fan (which is not very difficult) and ask him/her for help. By the way, thank you very much Chris G. (our Bostonian Red Sox fan, and friend) for inviting us to the game!!
