...and here's where I'll be sitting. Have to decide which splitfinger I'm gonna catch a home run ball with

Left field wall at Fenway, it's gotta be a Teddy.....
Try to keep it dry, it's pretty soggy here today.

I was atop the wall on Easter of 2004, front row against the Blue Jay's. My mother was upset because I wasn't going to be in church. I disagreed. Ortiz hit a walk off homer ten feet to my left.

But of course someone that calls themselves Number 9 (unlike, say, Chicago Red Sox Fan) probably thinks a Teddy is appropriate for any occasion...

MVALZ, I was hoping to see you scale down the wall and join in the fun this evening!

Well guys I went with the Wilson 615 split and it didn't fail me. Snagged a BP homer off some loser from the Rays (Sox fans annoyed with Rays). Used two hands and no bobble....my daughter was very impressed

So that is what Manny and Youk were arguing about in the dugout - whether it was a Wilson 615 or 617. I knew there had to be a good reason why they were pushing each other around.

Mmm, seats atop the Monstah.

I always get stuck out in right field at Fenway, the few times I've been able to get to a game while visiting Nana...

True enough. I'm typing with one right now.
