I saw the White Sox winner on Saturday, and I have a few stories from my first trip to Fenway, what I now consider the best park in the league out of the 10 current parks I've seen.
When we sang Na Na Hey Hey after the SWhite ox won, my buddy got hit in the neck with a bratwurst.
The guy in front of me had a T-shirt jersey with "El Guapo" on the back. As if that weren't dumb enough, for some inconceivable reason, there was a tilda over the L.
When the White Sox tied the game in the fifth, the crowd was in the midst of doing the wave. How disappointing to get the wave at a crucial point in the game ... at Fenway Park.
After I said, "Geez, I would expect the wave out of Wrigley morons, but not in Boston," a Cubs fan two rows down turned around and said, "They do the wave at Comiskey, not Wrigley. At Wrigley they just win baseball games." Before I could eve respond, some Red Sox fans in the nearby area began chuckling at the absurdity of that statement.
Another crucial point when the Red Sox were rallying in the eighth, my section began chanting "Yankees suck." Would've have made sense ... if they were playing the Yankees.
They didn't even SING the Seventh Inning Stretch!! They played some music vaguely resembling Take Me Out on the organ, but nobody sang. I didn't realize what was happening until the song was 2/3 over!
Quote of the day from this obnoxious Bostonian who saw that his skanky wife only brought back a beer for herself, not him:
"You'z the waust beez gettaz I eva saw."
It took me about 30 seconds to figure out what he said too. :)
