22 down, 8 to go. (Fenway Park)

Ok ladies and gents, time to finish up the trip report. After NYC, I hopped in the rental and drove to Boston. I had never been before so I took in all the sights, (and some pubs.) It's an awesome and fun city. I had kind of a less than favorable impression of Red Sox fans from my travels, but once visiting the home crowd my opinion has changed, everyone was nice and helpful and you can't be mad when taking in the uniqueness that is Fenway Park.

Say what you want about it, there is only one in the world. Even though I sat in a hardwood seat from what seemed like the 40s, partially obstructed by a pole, I still enjoyed the game. Looking out at the scoreboard you start to think about all the tens of thousands of scores that thing has held, and the list of signatures on the inside, a who's who of baseball history.

Sadly I neglected to get a Fenway Frank while there, I know, terrible oversight. I had some semblance of a chicken sandwich, it wasn't that great but I can't blame Fenway for my poor choice in food.

The next day I checked out of the hotel and made a mad dash back to Philly to catch my flight, and back to the grind. Right now I'm enjoying the playoffs, the ALCS is awesome and I'm happy to see some new blood in the playoffs.

I can't believe I only have 8 more to go...I've gotten around quite a bit since I started this blog! I can't wait to see where next year may take me. I'll make sure to post during the long, cold, offseason. Happy October baseball fans!
