Boston Fenway Park Trip

I just got back from a short trip to Boston. I had received four free Red Sox tickets from my uncle a few weeks prior, so I called my friends in Boston to see if they'd like to go to a game. They did, and so I drove up yesterday and went to the game with them. We also met my brother at the game (he was already in Boston at his friends' graduation parties).

Before the game we got a couple beers at the Cask 'n' Flagon outside of Fenway. The pre-game ceremonies included a renaming of the left-field foul pole to "Fisk Pole" and then a first-pitch by Carlton Fisk. The temperature at game-time (7:05 p.m.) was a muggy 88, and we could feel no breeze at our Section 15 grandstand seats. The game itself was a rather lopsided interleague contest against the Cincinnati Reds. The Red Sox won 10 to 3. After the game we stopped for a beer at Tequila Rain on Lansdowne Street.
