This egg is not for everyone and i know you might say this should be in the forums but not enough people go in there so i thought i would share it here.Please excuse my punctuality my question mark key comes out as É and my apostrophe is è.
Since April, i have watched over 200 baseball games (145) were of the Toronto Blue jays. I followed them the entire season and now baseball is over. This makes me sad. But, i am trying to complete the ultimate baseball fan goal, go to all 30 major league baseball stadiums. I have been to the Rogers centre in Toronto and this year i went to Fenway park. This upcoming year i hope to travel to Colorado, Minnesota, Pittsburgh and Newyork.
This is very picture heavy, i like to take pictures of baseball so beware. A lot are random pictures but amuse me because i was just so happy to be in Fenway.
Back ground: We left home at 5 in the morning on July 1.Me, my cousin, my sister and my pop along with a huge barbecue and a shit load of stuff squeezed into our 2004 Toyota Camry. I could move my legs about 4 inches and brought along my psp and pillow and a book to ride beside me. We decided to make a stop in Darien Lake. We stayed there for 3 days but i couldn\\’t muster enough balls to ride the super man. Next we headed for Boston, Massachusetts. Someone in my car got sick so we had to stop at every road side place in new york, 8 hours later we arrived in Boston
We enjoyed a pool and cool room on the 4th of july and witnessed the Boston fireworks. There were these sesame street ones with smiley faces and ones that stayed in the air for minutes. It was cool because i could see them outside and on TV.
The next morning at about 3\\’oclock we jumped on a bus and headed down to Fenway for the game. We arrived at the park at approximately 3:47, 3 hours before game time.
BTW the game happened on July 5th vs Tampa Bay devil rays. The street Vendors there were selling funny T-shirts like A-ROD slaps balls.
A picture of my room at night.
This is probably my favorite picture.The Front of Fenway Park facing Yawkey Way. If you can see in the
top art of the picture is the numbers 1912 when the park had it\\’s first game played in it. This is the oldest MLB park out there.
At 4:45 people started to build up outside.
Incredible, there just letting us in and there is over 2 thousand people outside waiting to get in. 3 quarters of which are wearing Boston Redsox Memorabilia. In Toronto, i arrive 2 hours before and your lucky if theres 20 people in line.
The first step out into Fenway park. Can you see all of the Redsox clothing.
Some guys from the Sox
This has to be a contender for the biggest diet coke, coke zero and Coca-Cola bottles. 99 percent sure they are empty
Just before the Green monster. Wanted to go up on top but security would not let me.
Manny Delcarmen and Coco Crisp warming up.
The guy in the Papelbon shirt wanted a ball and the outfielder said no. He then yelled for 5 minutes and the TB outfielder through his water bottle to him. He was pretty happy for a water bottle(I would to).
A cool lego thing.
Proof that it is lego.
The seats that my ass had to sit on for 5 hours. Yes they are wooden.
Fenway and their banners. The blue ones are for being the American league champs.
The end of warm-up.
The lights are on and its game time.
American National anthem.
David Ortiz batting for the first time.
Another sell out. The sell out streak is something
like 80 games.
My cousin and 20 thousand people.
J.D Drew playing right field.
Night time
I was talking to my cousin earlier and said it would be cool if someone had 27 strikeouts and a perfect game. Josh Beckett had 5 in a row to start the game.
No room here.
Johnny Gnomes with a double.
Someone should sign him up for some games. He throws the food people want up to 10 rows with precision accuracy.
Beautiful ain\\’t it.
Blowout. It was like this in the fourth. Coco crisp had a grand slam.
Run. Boston fans must be allergic to water.
I might be in wooden seats but im sheltered.
Sleepy time.
Hideki Okajima was voted in to the allstar game when this picture was taken. He won the fan voted wild card spot. He bowed for about 5 minuted to a huge ovation.
My room over the highway.

Please discuss my egg. I want to talk baseball and no one here cares about it. Thanks
Nov 29, 2007 1:04 pm - baseball is americas favorite past time. why would england have it? and the sox are awesome. My dad went to game 3 in colorado and got a box with like 20 other people. Red sox have the worlds largest pack of traveling fans in sports history. I lol’d at the allergic to water thing. especially because i kind of am. Whenever i stay in water for longer than 5 minutes i get hives

It’s also Brjo’s favorite past time. Those fans were out of there as soon as it started raining. I thought you woulnd’t be able to move them with a shovel because of there dedication but i guess i was wrong
Nov 29, 2007 1:13 pm - According to MLB Cameron, who turns 35 in January, will miss the first 25 games of the season after testing positive for banned stimulants last season. But isn’t he injured after the coach pushed him over. Will he serve the games even if he is on the DL
N v 29, 2007 2:31 pm - It’s not my house i live in Ontario, it’s my hotel room. I think it was a marriot. It goes right over the highway. I took a lot of pictures of it, pretty cool room.
Dec 03, 2007 1:09 am - nice egg you have allot of pics. Great effort you put into this egg and good luck for going to all 30 major league baseball Stadiums 5*
Dec 31, 2007 11:51 am - Nice to see there’s another baseball fan here. 5 stars for your egg, nice pics! Fenway is so awesome, I’m a big Sox fan but tickets are so expensive I don’t get to go much.
I’m going on a trip with a club in my school to Boston, and we’re taking a tour of Fenway. You Sox fans are lucky... at least you get to keep your fucking stadium. That’s why this summer I have to go to as many games as I can, and I plan to bring my camera. Who knows, maybe I’ll make an egg as well. I hate Steinbrenner. Great eggy, you earn 5 stars on everything you have, as well as my respect. Baseball>anything else
