So go goes the song, naturally we bought popcorn.
Saw my first game at the new Citizen’s Bank Ballpark Sunday with my brother and Dad. A true, old-fashioned American Father’s Day. What a great place! Open, airy, tons of vistas, lots of places to congregate and watch the game, not too many choke points – mid Ashburn Alley is a conspicuous one – comfortable seating, a beautiful field, the list goes on and on ad infinitum.
To add to the happiness, it was a perfect day and the game had all the elements of perfection. Thome hit two out of the park and Rollins hit the first inside the park homer in the new ballpark’s short history.
This weekend it’s the Phils in Fenway, I don’t know who to cheer for but I’m wearing my Red Sox hat so I don’t get beaten repeatedly by rabid Boston fans. What a great summer!
