Fenway 2016

David Ortiz at the plate, 6-20-16
Every year I make it a point to get to Fenway Park, which is arguably the best place on the planet. This year my brother and I went to two games, both of which they lost to the White Sox by a score of 3 to 1. I still had a great time, of course. But, seriously, in a tie game with the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth, with no outs, how can you not score a single run? All you need is a single, or a walk, or a sacrifice fly. Instead, they managed to get two strikeouts and a ground out to second. But as I said, I had a wonderful time. The first game (when they blew it in the ninth) we had excellent seats just past first base. The second game we had our usual seats right next to the visitors' bullpen. Here are a few shots from before that second game, with the pitcher warming up.
