lighter side entries
What do we love most about Red Sox Nation? They inspire us to kick back, crack a cold one, and have a laugh. Here's to you and all you do.
On scoring tickets
Mug the scalpers by the Kenmore Green Line exit. What are they going to do...tell the cops?
- Juan, Milton
Start dating the cleaning lady from Lowell that won the lottery so that you can afford the scalpers' prices.
- John, Braintree
On transportation
I live just outside NYC and I go up to Fenway about four times a year. When I leave my house, I always look for Yankee fans...run a few over. Then get on I-95 to I-84 then take I-90 to boston, park the car and take a stroll on Commonwealth Ave. and then head up to Fenway Park to see my boys win!
- Brian, Yonkers, NY
On hanging around Fenway
Getting hammid on the Yawk.

On the inside of Fenway
For one thing, don't bring a child under the age of eight unless they are educated about baseball. Nothing irritates the people around you more than hearing you explain "fair" "foul" and "safe" to a moping pre-elementary schooler who would rather be home watching Teletubbies. Try explaining the infield fly rule or why they sell crappy beer, and then we can all learn something!

On favorite Fenway moments
My favorite Fenway Moment will be a late night in October of 2004, when the Red Sox beat the Cardinals in the 7th game of the 2004 World Series.
