Fenway Musing
I took some pictures at Wednesday night's game. I'm not sure how well they turned out, as my the zoom feature on my digital camera is limited. But I'll post any worth seeing.
Any Red Sox fan knows Fenway's capacity is approximately 35,000 people. Not terribly big as far as ballparks go, but still, it's a sizable number. Which makes the small town feel of the place stranger to me. I say smalltown in the sense of not only is Fenway itself familiar in all it's physical dimensions, but the people as well. I never see a game there without bumping into someone - often several someones - that I know. A trip to Fenway resembles grocery shopping in my hometown - you just know, without even thinking about it, you'll run into somebody.
