Memorial Day Weekend . . . Last Year

Last year, my son and I got tickets to a Red Sox-Yankees game in Yankee stadium on Memorial Day weekend. This was his 4th Red Sox game, but the first time for either of us in Yankee Stadium.


We had seats in the third row about ten feet from the Sox dugout looking straight down the right field line. We were sitting near the Vice Chairman of the Red Sox who was showing off his 2004 World Series Championship ring.




One complaint about the seats . . . sometimes the on-deck man got in the way!

Manny is warming up here with Big Papi at the plate.





At some point, Manny fouled one off in front of the Sox dugout. The ballboy tossed it to the seat attendant who gave it to my son. . .

. . . and the Sox beat the Yanks 7-2!
