Josh played sports from the time he was 5 until he graduated high school. He loved playing and was pretty good at it. Now, me on the hand, have never been great at sports, but I sure tried when I was younger. When I got older I realized that it just wasn't for me. I decided that I was a better spectator at sporting events then actively playing them.
As you can guess from our dog Fenway's name, someone in the family is a Boston Red Sox fan!! Well, that happens to be Josh. I am a Yankee fan and have been since I was in middle school. We both love baseball and had the opportunity to see a special game not too long ago.
Now, it isn't big rival game of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, it was the opening game at the neighboring town's new stadium. This team is an AA team. It was a much talked about event and tickets were hard to get.

Waiting for the game to start
Can you guess who threw out the opening pitch?? (Sorry I got better back shots than front!!)
Side note: He was wearing the below shoes, which I find ugly. Lace up sandals??

It was Tim McGraw!! He had a concert a few blocks away and was able to throw out the first pitch and then go to his concert.
First Pitch of the Game by the home team
We thoroughly enjoyed the game, minus the undercooked corn dog Josh got from the concession stand. We didn't just go because it was the first game at the new stadium, but it was fun getting to experience it. It is a really unique stadium that has a grassy area behind outfield where you can bring a blanket or lawn chairs to relax in. We had great seats just to the right of home plate and enjoyed a great view.
I leave you with a picture at the end of our date:
P.S. Did you notice that in the first picture there is a U-haul up in the air??
