Saturday night was all about Manny

[elwood]

Red Sox kicked some ass last night... I was there to witness it. Here's some pix for you Sox fans...

Here's the Pitch:

Damon at bat:



This pitch was crushed out of the park by Manny for a grand slam:



After the grand slam my buddy and I went to get a beer and ran into P-Hug. We chatted for a while, and then decided to go up to the Hall of Fame club, where they have a full bar. It was much warmer in there...


P-Hug at the hall of fame club:



T3T, *****es!



Lot of cool stuff on the walls:



...and Gold Gloves!:






And some of the greats:

Ted Williams...



Babe Ruth...



Yaz...



Thomas Yawkey



Pudge...



Cy Young...



Wade Boggs...



Dennis Eckersley...



Awesome time in Boston...until someone broke into my car and stole **** and vandalized my ignition. Other than that, it was a blast!

Elwoods hall of fame plaque:


Thanks for the invite Elwood, had a great time at the game.
Rep to you for knowing people in high places and sneaking us into the Hall of Fame bar.
Sorry, to hear about your car, were you able to get it started?
That's Scummerville for ya.

[elwood]

yeah, had to get a locksmith, but it all worked out in the end. I'm back in good ol' VT now, where crime like that doesn't happen...

[elwood]

Bump for M@ now that he's back...

How did I miss this thread completely? Damnit.

Excellent Pix! I freaking love sitting there - we were like one section to the right on opening day, and it was "To Die For." (If you're into the sox that is)

Thanks for posting the link in the other red sox thread, or I woulda missed it.

I was watching it on GameDay on the laptop - and had to pause the Sapranos' DVD to watch the Manny G.Slam replay. That was sweet.

I've never been in the hall of fame club... looks pretty sweet. Jealous am I. I know where it is, does it have a view of the field? I thought it was like behind all the press box stuff.

Another red sox picture for the thread, from Sunday after the game.

(I'm pointing to a teeny "M@" sign)

And one more picture - becuase it has a cowbell in it. I brought the bicycle horn and cowbell, and when Bellhorn was up I'd to a "bell-bell, Horn-Horn" kinda thing. Got a lotta laughs, and Marky got a sweet double.

Unfortunately, no view of the field from the hall of fame club. But it is nice when the weather isn't perfect, it has clean bathrooms, a full bar, lots of gold gloves, and FREE POPCORN!

[P-HUG]

Definitely a cool out of the way place at the nasty old fens.
Can't believe we are stuck with for another 600 years.

Hey M@ is that Tom Werner with you guys? Sure looks like him.
And stop defacing the Left field foul pole....

Has he ever mentioned about being a majority owner in the Red Sox at any family fxns? I think he's holding out on you.
