It's the insurance companies stupid

7. Go Red Sox!!!

[postulater]

2. Why don't they build a bigger stadium?

That one wall is way too high.

3. Too much history

11. Amen ! Fenway is very cool. But thinking about that makes me mad all over

again about Yankee stadium. When you went there you could just breathe in the history of the place - maybe it's the years upon years of spilt beer. I am so happy I made it to the last game of the world's series with Yanks playing Atlanta. It was one of the coolest things I ever did. The second they won, everyone behind us sparked up

13. My grandfather was "connected"

how he got tickets I'll never know. But my grandparents lived 4 blocks from the stadium. If we didn't have tickets, we watched from the "EL". Great memories

[Laura PourMeADrink]

14. Oh wow..how lucky you were to have lived then and there and experienced

that. I heard someone say "Great idea. A bunch of rich people decide to knock down irreplaceable history to build a new place that only rich people can afford to go to."

Never heard any protests about it. I would have definitely added my HELL NO

17. I grew up in Teaneck, NJ in the late '50s and '60s.

Spent many, many afternoons at Yankee Stadium. A bus across the bridge, then 2 subways to the Grand Concourse. And after the game we could walk across the outfield and out through the bull pens !
Mantle, Berra, Rizzuto, even saw Joltin' Joe at the end. And I BELIEVE I was there at least once in Mantle's first year when he played right and Joe played center.

19. We played you in HS football

I grew up in Ridgewood

[pangaia]

20. We wumped your butt.

Or maybe you wumped us. I forget.
Too much kissy facin' going on with one pf the flute players..

[GP6971]

23. Nah......we usually lost. n/t

[Brother Buzz]

4. That one wall on the other side is way too short

[Warren Stupidity]

10. 1912 thank you. We love our ancient ball park.

[dflprincess]

16. I was in Boston in September and took a tour of Fenway

it would be a crime to do away with the park. There was move to build a new ballpark 11 or 12 years ago but the fans fought it off and our guide did tell us that, as long as it can remain structurally sound, Fenway is safe.

The first time I walked into Target Field I was nearly speechless (except to babble like the dad in "Christmas Story" - "It's indescribedly beautiful!&quot - but that was after going to ballgames in a dome for 20 years. I had nearly the same reaction walking into Fenway. Maybe it was seeing the Green Monster in person (and enjoying the view from on top of it) - or maybe it was the history that permeates the ballpark.

22. Have you been to Camden?

I really like that the newer stadiums are going retro like that.

I do wish the Nats had stayed in RFK, though: that's a great stadium.

[Recursion]

21. Well if they wanted to expand it now they'd have to move that freeway

Also, anybody who tried would have most of Boston out to kill them, so...

[pangaia]

6. GO CARDS !!

Oooppsie..
6-zip. Series over.
Cards forgot to hit the ball...
Well if the Cards couldn't do it, I am really glad for the Sox.
Quite a bunch !!
LOVE THAT BALL PARK !!



P S I also love Jim Joyce's striiieeeek calls.
How does he get his voice that hi? I can only do it falsetto.

[gopiscrap]

8. I was wondering about those called strikes also.

[longship]

9. My favorite was always Nestor Chylak.

Who here is about to throw Billy Martin out of the game.


You could almost hear his strike calls all over the stadium. And if you struck out, you'd get the double pumper from him. He was a great umpire.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

12. wow ..very cool...thanks for sharing !! nt

[pangaia]

18. WOW ! I had forgoten about Chylak.

Joyce will forever be a favorite of mine for the meeting at home plate the game after he missed a call at first and cost Galarraga a perfect game. When Galarraga brought out the lineup card and Joyce was in tears.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

15. to all my Bosox friends here...Congratulations. Love you still hate them. nt
