Red Sox Opening Day 2005
Let Me Start Out by having you imagine the most perfect day.........okay, that was april 11, 2005 for me.
it started off ill when my boss picked me up and brought me straight to Newton(Riverside) to take the T in because it's easier thasn going commuter rail from Grafton. So i get to Fenway about 11, pick up some free shit people were passing out, bought a Red Renteria T Shirt to add to my collection and then headed to my seat. right past first base next to last row. great seat, no pole obstructing much view. Then i bought Tony a nice shirt because he is generous enough to do shit for me all the time. I met Danielle from EC who let me buy the ticket off her and her friends Carlos and JAckson...all three of them wicke dnice and friendly. James Taylor sang God Bless America as the injured servicemen brough out the Trophy and Rings and then the ceremony began, and D Lowe and Dave Roberts came back(In Sox Jerseys) to get their rings. Moving Ceremony. then the old timers came out and Pesky and Yastrzemski(im like 99% sure its spelt right and no i didnt look it up anywhere..im jus tintense) raised up the 04 banner under the US Flag. The Yankees were introduced and received a lour round of boo's indivudally minus Torre(which i respect highly) and MARIANO RIVERA(who has blown 4 saves in a row vs. the sox and 6 of his last 9) but he was laughing and all making it even better. The Yanks were top class int he respect category and i applaud that. The Pops and BSO played the Anthem while the crowd sung. Then TEDY BRUSCHI and Richard Seymour of the Pats, Bill Russell of the Celts and Bobby Orr of the B's came and threw out the first pitch(all memeber sof boston's sports teams that last won the championship)...oh ya..something about a baseball game.
Wakefield was top shelf and Mirrabelli came through like usual and the sox romped 8-1. The different A-rod chants were hilarious and it wa sjust an absolutely amazing atmosphere. after the game, i went back ont he T and Mom and Dad picked me up in Newton off Riverside.
PERFECT DAY.
oh ya and im going to the game tomorrow(SChilling's first 05 start with Schwartz) and my mom gave me my birthday present early. An Authentic Road Jersey of Varitek witht he C(Captain) on it. w0w.
now for the pictures.
