So this weekend my son and i took a trip to Boston to attend a Red Sox game at Fenway Park.
I hadn't been since I was a young child. I always had fond memories of Fenway and of course am a Red Sox fan. But this morning I got to thinking and asking myself why is Fenway so great? What are the best things about Fenway Park. A list started to form pretty quickly:
- The history of Fenway Park
, sure it is nice to see a ball game in a new stadium but there is something special when you are sitting in a stadium that has been visited by generations of your family.
- The Green Monster which adds so much to the game. I love watching outfielders try to play the ball off the wall.
- The Fans - say what you will but there is a certain passion to Red Sox fans. Many of us have been fans even when the team was horrible that brings with it a deep seeded passion.
This was just the first few that I thought of and I am sure others could add more. While I was watching batting practice with my son, I heard a woman telling her son, when I was a little girl my dad would bring me to the game and we would sit out in the bleachers for $.50.
Longevity, that is one of the best things about Fenway Park
