astra_nomerLast night we went to a Red Sox game. Some notes:
- This was the first time the Red Sox played at Nationals Park since the Nats moved to DC.
- It was also the day after the worst Metro accident in its history.
- This meant we had to reroute our Metro trip to the stadium.
- Also, there was a moment of silence at the beginning of the game to remember the victims of the crash.
- Our tickets for the game were cheaper than any we've gotten for either Fenway Park or Camden Yards.
- But our seats were way way better.
- Red Sox fans outnumbered Nats fans by at least 2:1.
- The turnout for the game was a record for Nationals Park. A Red Sox fan a couple rows in front of us stood up after this announcement, and said something to the effect of, "on behalf of all the Red Sox fans here, you're welcome!"
- I think Sox fans just like to bellow "Yooooooooooouk!" because of the way it sounds.
- This is the first time I heard "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" instead of "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch in, like, years.
- Son the Younger does not deal well with being out late at night.
- We didn't even stay until the end of the game.
- Much to Husband's and Son the Elder's disappointment.
- Go, Sox!
