Red Sox 6, Orioles 4

Verna managed to get us some great tickets to see the Boston Red Sox play the Baltimore Orioles for Paul's birthday. Here is what ensued...

2009-04-18_Red_Sox_0008.jpg Fenway Park is one giant retail outlook - guys wander the crowd with soft drinks, hot dogs, popcorn, pizza, peanuts...
2009-04-18_Red_Sox_0009.jpg ...but not beer. That's only available from the many bars.

2009-04-18_Red_Sox_0023.jpg Errr... Yes!
2009-04-18_Red_Sox_0024.jpg Hosing down the clay.
2009-04-18_Red_Sox_0026.jpg Everything seems to get covered up...
2009-04-18_Red_Sox_0027.jpg ...to keep it in perfect condition for the next game...
2009-04-18_Red_Sox_0029.jpg ... but for now the last floodlights are out and the park can sleep.

2009-04-18_Red_Sox_0031.jpg We headed straight over to the bar when we finally left the park. Neil tries drinking with a massive hand. Not a huge success...

2009-04-18_Red_Sox_0035.jpg Martyn broke the foam hand. Ask him and he may tell you the sordid and sorry tale that led to this moment...
