I am down in Anaheim with my family doing the Disney thing. With the Sox playing only a short cab ride away I simply had to go.
I watched most of Monday nights game at the ESPN Zone in the "Downtown Disney District". Nice place I guess - I had never been to one before. There were a few Sox fans there.
I went to Tuesday's game. What a great game. Angel stadium is not a bad place to watch a game but there is nothing spectacular about it.
I got very lucky getting tickets. I went to the game with the intention of buying a scalped ticket or a nosebleed from the ticket window. I saw sone people selling tickets and right then some cops came in and made them stop. So, I got into line at the ticket window.
Just the two old people riding "rascals" drove up to the cop and asked if they could sell tickets and he "No, but you can give them away". So, they drove up to me and asked how many I needed, I sais "One" and they handed me a ticket and said enjoy the game. Free ticket, score.
As soon as I got inside I got a beer and just leaned up against a post near third base and watched the first inning. You can walk all they way from third basr to first and see the game. There is no view of the field from the concourse in right field. They have that rocky fountain thing in center and there is a good view from left field.
The best part about being there was the large number of Sox fans that were there. Everywhere I went there were Sox fans. We would give each other nods or high fives. Occasionally, some would stop and talk and ask if I was from Chicago and we woule breifly talk about the Sox an how well they are doing.
After the game tons of Sox fans were chanting and cheering and high fiving each other. I practially felt like I was at a Sox home game. It was much more Sox friendly than I could have imangined.
I have pictures that I will post soon.
