Red Sox Game

I spent much of the day at the middle school schedule pick up. But alas my 12 year old is absolutely mortified at the thought of pictures within a possible range of his friends. We carefully plucked out that locker combo at least a zillion times. And then hiked through the high and low to walk his schedule. Up the steps. Down the stairs. Back up the stairs.

But I do have some much fought for pictures from our night at the Red Sox Game. Ok the Royals have really suffered the last few seasons but it was just plain weird to go to a game and see more jerseys from the opposing team. Red Sox Nation was out in force.

Especially when they first opened the gates and waves of Red Sox fans entered the stadium. Our seats weren't really in this section. We were about 15 rows from the top way up there in God's country. But I couldn't stand it so we moved down at the 5th inning.

The collection of memorabilia was incredible. Our final count was jerseys for 15 different current Red Sox players and 9 former or retired Sox. Contrasting we saw 4 different current Royals jerseys and 4 traded or retired jerseys. And most oddly only a very very few Manny Ramerez jerseys. (he of the recent trade to the Dodgers).

Waiting for the gates to open and sporting every color of Red Sox Jerseys.
