| A Boston Birthday |
 |
If the Red Sox are playing a home game on my
birthday I always try and grab tickets to that game. This year luck was smiling
on me when my birthday fell on a Saturday and I was able to purchase four
tickets to

the game. This was back in November; the plan was to take my then girlfriend Jen,
my sister Noelle (who had never been to Fenway) and Adam. After my
dad died in April; Jen, who I've remained friends with, stepped up to the
plate and offered her ticket to my Mom. How cool was that? Now we'd have a nice
little family trip up to Fenway. Naturally the week prior to the game they were
predicting gloom and rain on Saturday. They couldn't have been more wrong, the
day was sunny and warm! Was someone smiling on us from above? Aside from the
weather there were other odd things going on that day. First off my favorite Red
Sox player, Tim Wakefield was pitching, the girl who sang the national anthem
was from my Alma Mata, UConn. And finally, the cerimonial first pitch was thrown
by the family of Dennis
Thompson. If you don't know who Dennis Thompson is, please read the article
it's a very touching story. The Red Sox then gave all of us a rousing 9 to 3
victory. |
