Chris Bosh Adventures In Boston (Blog) |
 With me being in Boston, I had the oppurtunity the check out the Red Sox play at the world famous Fenway Park last night. It was the craziest sports atmosphere that I've ever seen and I've been to some spectacular events. The reason I say that is because it was a cold and rainy Wednesday night against the Devil Rays, a non-rival team, and the place was packed!
Baseball teams play 162 games a year and this was probably around their 25th home game. There were people everywhere. Some people even buy tickets just to get in the stadium to watch the whole game standing up! They actually have a stand only section and people were I mean, it was one of 81 regular season games and there's not an empty seat in the house and people are standing. The whole stadium even sung a song in unison in the middle of the 8th inning. You had to be there to see and hear it. It was crazy!
I though I knew the true meaning of pride, but these Boston fans have showed me a new meaning. They even started chanting "BEAT LA" during the game.
Now I want to see a ball game at Wrigley Field and Yankee Stadium and see what those place are like. Those are some classic ballparks and I'm pretty sure they have some big time pride as well.
I had a good time though. I ended up buying a Red Sox sweatshirt because I only had a short sleeve shirt so I hope my friends don't hold it against me. I didn't want to get sick.
Well... I'm in the Garden right now waiting to do the Leno show. Its about 4 hours before tip-off so I have a little bit of free time on my hands. If you ever get the chance, go to Fenway Park and check out a Sox game. You'll have a blast.
