If you find some pictures, post them and did you take a camera yourself?

Yes, I took pics. I'll post some here at some point or upload to Facebook (PM me your Facebook info if you like)

I'm not on FB but post them whenever you get chance, it must have been quite a unique atmosphere


A month late I know, but here are some pics taken in the expensive seats during the 13 inning, 2:45am finishing Angels @ Red Sox marathon game.





I was so close that I was by the Radar guy

Sorry, I reorganised my Photobucket albums which seemed to screw up the links.

They should be fixed now

Great stuff, Fenway looks fantastic even if there aren't many there.

I was surprised at how many were left at 02:45 in the morning considering it was a weeknight.

Getting up for the next day's game (a 13:35 start) was an effort for me. I dread to think what it was like for the players and grounds crew

Centuries after we invented the game of baseball, Britain will finally get a chance to qualify for the World Baseball Classic

I may have asked this before, but  does anybody on here play in one of the UK baseball leagues?

There's nothing anywhere near me.

If I'd had the chance to play as a kid (which I might have done if Rank Xerox had had a different policy about sending employee's families Stateside), I'd have been a slugging 1B/DH well on my way to Cooperstown by now

Do you ever go to the batting cages or anything? Or have you literally NEVER played?

And I am definitely not going to be able to make that Wed. Yanks/Sox game.  I have a project due for my class on Thursday.  I wish they were also playing a Friday game...

Did you ever "have a catch" with anyone?

I've been in a batting cage a few times in Cooperstown.

The only proper game of "catch" (ie with gloves), took place in a Chicago sports store. Unsurprisingly, me and my mates were asked to leave.

I will down a beer in your honor at Stans before I enter the Death Star. As you know, I try not to spend a cent inside the building.
