They had all kinds of Sox legends there at Fenway Park to honor what is 100 years of one of the most ugliest parks in ML Baseball. True, it has some history, which any 100 year old anything would, but most of them, bad ones. They keep showing the famous clip of Fisk doing his home run dance when they played the Reds in the '75 WS, showing it as if it was the deciding homer, the one that won them the WS. What most forget watching it is that the next day they lost the WS right there, at Fenway Park.
Yes, today was a grand day for them. It was fitting that we be there, for whenever Red Sox History is written, talked about, discussed, the New York Yankees have to be mentioned, because we have done great things in writing that history. Today was no different! Here they were, all eyes on them, fans with Birthday hats with candles on, their retired greats parading on the field, indeed a celebration which they hoped would always be remembered. Well we made sure they remember it alright. We hit 5 bombs today, we put the fireworks, we lit up their candles. Again, we went there and spoiled their party. I am sure that most, if not all of the fans, ex-Sox players, went home feeling as if the thunder of the celebration had been taken from them. Even Martin, who had not hit anything since the season started, got into it with his first homer. Chavez, hit two, and A-rod, who is always there for the dramatic, hit another. Swisher, well he's having himself a nice 2012 so far.
