Fenway... finally!


Having moved back east 20 years ago this month, I can't believe I waited until yesterday to finally get to Fenway Park. The place was enchanting: a classic early 20th century design that has comfortably embraced modern enhancements in video and concessions without losing any of its charm.
"America's Most Beloved Ballpark" has plenty of its own heroes to celebrate. Below are the Red Sox retired numbers.
Fenway really sparkes on a sun-drenched late summer afternoon. I like how, as we saw at Wrigley, the color-scheme on the walls and video board matches the grass instead of clashing with it.

The grandstand brings you back decades. How many old movies have you see with this kind of panorama? You can almost hear the cheers for The Babe, Ted and Yaz.
Finally... here's some game action, Alex Rodrguez facing Boston starting pitcher Henry Owens.
While I am not big on the idea of selfies, I had to take one here! Come on, wouldn't you?
And one more look onto the field framed by the Green Monster.
