for two reasons. 1) I wasn't emotionally invested in either team one
way or the other (thus further illustrating my release from Braves
fandom). 2) Due to the fact that the Red Sox are a popular team the
only tickets available at the gate were standing room only. It was
neat to see 80% of the Japanese media there to witness their two sons
take the hill. It was also cool to see how tiny Pedroia is in person.
One annoying thing was the fact that the braves and the sox both wore
the same uniform, blue jersey and blue hat...very strange.
P.S. Sox fans are obnoxious. Michele has attended games where Yankee
fans were in force as well as today where the crowd was easily 90% in
favor of Boston and she agrees...awful.
P.P.S. Smoltz was there :(
