Check.  Look for me on TV.  It’s funny though.  Whenever I am watching a game on TV, I am always trying to notice fellow vendor’s working in the stands.  The yellow shirts just stand out so much.

2) Try and meet up with Julia of Julia’s Rants and other bloggers she was trying to get to meet outside Fenway.  Unfortunately, I did not make it in time to meet up.  When I was finally finished picking up my uniform, I called Julia and she and Scott from I’m Not a Headline Guy were on top of the Prudential Building.  Here is a picture of them:

No, really, they are up there.  I was on the phone with her exactly at that moment, as I was standing behind the Red Sox dugout. 

Since I was at the ballpark, I’d figure I might as well take in the Red Sox workout.  It was a gorgeous day for baseball; warm and not a cloud in the sky.  Since I brought my camera, I figured I might as well take a few (or 20 or 30) pictures.  Here are some of them:

Finally ~ View from the Budweiser section in upper RF:

It was quite a blast.  It seemed like I had the whole park to myself.  There were a couple of tours going on.  Also, there were some other Red Sox employees who had their children there, but the greatest perk of working at the park is being able to be there without any fans.

EDIT:  I forgot to mention that I noticed the lower (field level) and upper box (red) seats seem to have brand new seats in there.  The actual seat parts have padding.  I sat in one, and it was pretty comfortable.  However, the only problem is that back rest seems to be the same height.  So, now with a cushion there, the
back rest is on the lower part of your back which probably won’t be as comfortable as the game goes on.  I think these new seats are only in the infield box seat sections. It looks like the RF boxes, grandstand (blue seats) and bleachers have the same crummy seats.

I talked to Boston Globe reporter, Tony Masserotti for a few minutes.  Mostly about how much he misses (note sarcasm) being on the Big Show on WEEI sports talk radio. 

As I was leaving, I almost walked right into a Tampa Bay Ray coming out of the Red Sox clubhouse.  I am not sure who it was though.  Maybe B.J. Upton, (did he travel up north with the team while being on the DL?) but I am not sure at all.  He was just wearing some shorts and a T-shirt and not a name tag. 

All and all, it was a great day.  Quite the opposite of what I am looking at through my window as I type this.  I better bring my galoshes with me, as I am on my way to the ball park just after I finish posting this.

Josh Beckett vs James Shield.  Should be a great game!

Go Sox!!!
