WHEN I read the story about how the
I am very tall, and if I am to have any hope of attending a Red Sox game in any degree of comfort, I will have to use up a huge portion of my discretionary budget in order to buy seats into which I can fit without having my shin bones pressed into the seat back in front of me, or have the sides of my seat digging into my sides.
As for watching a game on TV, I have no interest at all in obtaining cable TV for my house, and the occasional free TV games are so few and far between that, unlike in my younger years, I cannot recall the last time I watched the Red Sox on TV. I will listen to the games on radio. But if I want to actually attend a baseball game, Pawtucket is much more enjoyable, both physically and economically.
I love Fenway Park. But I think back to the proposals for the new Fenway Park that were floated years ago, and remember how I thought that maybe I will have a chance, once again, of buying a ticket when I want to attend a game, and sitting in a comfortable seat. What a wonderful dream it was. But in the cold, harsh light of reality, I wonder if I will ever see the inside of Fenway Park, in person or on TV, again.
