fenway

hey, baseball fans.

remember that awesome triple play in fenway last night? the only good moment for jed lowrie? the first triple play since 1994 for the red sox?

a rarity, right?

and you would perhaps remember that my family and i were there last night, past the third base line in beautiful seats. and perhaps you might've thought, "oh wow, holly and her kids got to see that amazing play in person--how cool!" you might've thought that.

please give me a call and let me know if you yourself got to see that play, and then you can tell me what happened. i did not see it. i was giving money to the teenager at the ice cream stand in the concourse at the park. i was buying my ridiculously ungrateful children overpriced soft serve in souvenir miniature batting helmets when a raucous cry of exhaltation shook the rafters and those of us who were not looking at the tv monitors were left scrambling and saying, "what happened?? what happened??"

a triple play, that's what.

and if you happened to be inside fenway park last night, did you catch me and selkie up on the jumbotron in the sixth inning? and wasn't it cool that they showed highlights of dwight evans and he was there in person? were you as sad that you didn't get to see david ortiz or youk play as we were?

for the record, the park itself is even more beautiful than you remember.
