The week before school started and leading up to Matthew’s birthday, he and I went to Boston and attended a game at Fenway Park, home field of the Boston Red Sox. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenway_Park This was our father/son baseball bucket list to attend games in every single major league ballpark. This was the fifth major league park we have now checked off. The other are the parks of the Orioles (Baltimore, MD), the Yankees (New York City), the Mets Queens, NY), and the Nationals (Washington D.C.).
The Boston Red Sox were playing the Houston Astros, and it was a bit of a wild game as Fenway Park games can be. The Astros won 7-4.
Here are a few pictures. First the famous Green Monster, the left field wall which is not deep but very high.

Almost as famous as the Green Monster is the Petksy Pole, the right field foul pole named for Johhny Petsky who had a knack for hitting homers just inside the pole. This pole gives another odd feature to Fenway’s dimensions. The pole is extremely shallow, juts in and then opens into a wide cavernous right field.
Matthew and I sat in right field bleachers. It was a pretty good view. Some pictures of me and Matthew. With the Green Monster behind us
And with the Pesky Pole behind us.
We
had a great time. We spent a few days in
Boston. I’ll share some pictures of that
in subsequent Matthew Mondays.
