All kidding aside, I don't think I have ever seen a stadium nicer than Fenway.
FU and Bucky Dent!

I wish I could make it up there more than a couple times a year. Unfortunately the kids need to eat.

Before the Sox won the Series in '04, I was in the tear the dump down camp. I'm glad things worked out the way they did. Especially now that they tore down Yankee Stadium. We usually go to a Yankee game a year with my FIL, who's been a fan since childhood. New Yankee Stadium is nice but it's just not the same.

Granted, I can't squeeze my fat arse into the box seat. And you get a kink in your neck as your seat faces directly towards the Green Monster and you need to turn your head the whole game to watch anything in the infield.

Here's my little man taking batting practice a couple years ago with Dave Madigan.


I snapped this pic during the same game. I wonder if he appreciates the "quaintness"?
