One of my best friends was just in town for a few days for a family reunion that I got to photograph. Later that week they all headed down to Boston for a Red Sox – Indians game and invited me along. I’d never been to a Red Sox game and never been to Fenway, so I was pretty excited to go! When we were younger, Marietta got me into the Braves and I followed them for years… until they traded David Justice to the Indians and I decided it just wasn’t worth caring about a team if the owners were just going to split them up! I mean, jeez! (Clearly, I’m more of a people person than a team person) So, I’m not really a fan of any sports team anymore – though I always root for the Ohio State Buckeyes, and occasionally the Colts. But I’m fascinated by sports fans and am always up for people-watching at a game & hanging out with friends :)
Austin got a little sleepy on the walk to the park. You’ll notice he & his Daddy are Indians fans. That’ll happen when you’re from Ohio…
That baby is too cute!
Me & “Mommy”
I pretty much just want to kiss those cheeks all the time!
Fenway did not disappoint!
The only part of the game that I even remember was this huge fight that broke out when the Indians pitcher hit a guy with the ball, like for the 3rd time…
Just for fun, here’s a few photos of Marietta & I over the years…. hehe :]
Marietta & I met doing synchronized swimming. Our first routine was a duet we swam together. We were pretty cute, huh? (~1987)
My first professional baseball game! Rooting for the Braves at Cincinnati (1994)
And here we are now… Times have definitely changed, but it’s so wonderful to have friends who have known you for most of your life!!!
