Photos from my visit to Fenway Park

A couple of days ago I mentioned how Boston Red Sox' Fenway Park was the second most important baseball stadium to me. Just after Chavez Ravine, obviously :).

While I did visit the Dodger Stadium for an LA-Philly game last June, last week I had a privilege of visiting the Fenway Park in Boston, MA. The stadium is being overhauled for the new season, so the guided tour meandered through the construction site, in between the steel, wood and nails, so to say.

Please enjoy some of the photos I have taken:


Above: my first-ever glimpse at Fenway from the outside (just left off the Shell gas station) at the corner of Boylston (sp?) street and some other lane.


Getting closer and closer :)


The entrance to the ticket box at Yawkey Way.


Above: the look outside of the the Red Sox commentators' booth. This is where Don Orsillo and Jerry Remy actually broadcast from.


The Red Sox will have a two-feet narrower warning track this year as they move the line of grass closer to the outfield walls.


The monster with the recently added left-field seats on top of it.


Tamara - our very knowledgeable tour guide.

Time for trivia question: any idea why there is one distinctively red seat among green ones in right field? (I know the answer thanks to Tamara ;)).


I guess one ends up with a crazy face like this when one tries to make a photo of himself with the stadium as a backdrop, rather than asking other polite people on the guided tour to shoot one for him :).

PS. Got some more of these pics, just did not want to bore you to death with NDC [non-Dodger content]. Let me know, if you're ready for a second helping.
