My
love for the Sox started when I was a young lad growing up in Rhode Island.
My
summers were filled with plenty of baseball moments. I couldn’t get enough of
the game. I lived for baseball and loved playing and watching the game every
chance I had. To me it was all about the Red Sox.
Getting a chance to actually
go to Fenway Park was a dream come true. On these rare occasions we would drive
into Boston and make our way through the city. I remember seeing the CITGO sign
come into view, I knew that the park was nearby. I couldn’t
wait. …and then there was the moment when I first laid eyes on that field
— the Green Monster, the triangle, the scoreboard; the players, the
crowd! It was better than any dream.
Through the years, I was able
to see some of my favorite players: Yaz, El Tiante and Boomer. Not long ago, when
I had the opportunity to visit Fenway, I got to enjoy our hero Big
Papi.
The
Red Sox. Fenway Park. The crack of the bat. - It has always been so magical.
Thanks
for all the great memories – Red Sox.
You
rock!
