Last week Jane and I got to go see a Red Sox game. Unfortunately, after they had won about six in a row they got pounded, 8-5. David Wells got booed right onto the disabled list when Terry finally pulled him.

But it was a great night - the weather was warm, enough, and it didn't rain or snow. One year I took my son on his birthday - April 11 - and the game was delayed while they shoveled snow out of the outfield and the bleachers.

On the plus side, we did get to see David Ortiz hit a home run. And from where we were sitting on the third base line, just into the outfield, we got a great view of the hot corner, shortstop, and second base action. The way major league infielders handle the ball is very impressive.
