Thank you for the Christmas Gift!...

At our age one of the best gifts that we can receive does not need dusting, displaying, or fitting into..so tickets to the Red Sox from our daughters for Christmas was a perfect gift...especially since the weather finally turned sunny and warmer...


We arrived before the crowds...


...discovered the Bleacher Bar...


..wandered the souvenir shops along Yawkey Way...

..found our seats early...


...and took pictures of this beautiful old ball park.







I had to take at least one picture of the mascot Wally...named after the "green monster" wall...




Tim Wakefield, one of our favorite pitchers, was the starter......and it was a great game for him against the Toronto Blue Jays who are presently the leaders in the division...



Everyone, including the other players, was cheering Big Papi on...but he didn't get his first home run of the year until the next night...

...As the closer, Papelbon was exciting to watch...and of course we won...



The most fun of being at the game...besides watching them win...is singing along to "Sweet Caroline"...enthusiastically sung by the entire stadium at every home game eighth inning...

...It isn't your typical baseball song...


...but Good Times never seemed so good - so good - so good!

That's why they sing it. It just feels good to sing, doesn't it!! This is the best gift.
