My first game at Fenway Park was two years ago. I was on a date with this beautiful girl. We went to Boston Beer Works, had a bit too much to drink, bought overpriced tickets from a scalper and watched the Red Sox get thrashed by the Yankees. The best part was that no matter the score i was amazed at the passion of the Sox fans (of which now I'm one) and their hatred for the Yankees (especially Jeter). The very first time I heard the fat guy from Southie who was sitting behind us yell " Nooooohmahhh hit it outta da pahk!!!!" i knew i was in heaven. btw, the girl and I are still together and still taking in red sox games as much as possible.

I have been fortunate to a couple of Fenway Park moments:
1- Being there when Yaz collected his 3,000 hit against the Yankees.
2 - Being there when Dwight Evans played his first game as an opponent there (the ovation he got was incredible).
3 - Seeing one of the Springsteen shows there last summer.

Watching Mo Vaughn trying and finally getting on a police horse to ride around Fenway after clinching the division title. I thought the poor horse would break in two! Also Cal Ripkin's last game at Fenway - we were all in tears for such a class act to be actually retiring.

My favorite moment was in 1974 in a game against the Tigers when Willie Horton hit a foul and a few seconds later a dead pigeon came down on the plate.

My favorite Fenway moment that I was PRESENT at was Opening Day 2002 when the Patriots came walking on the field after winning their first Superbowl. It was a huge moment for all of New England sports. I wait for the day I am at Gillette for the Pats season opener and they welcome the World Series Champs, the Boston Red Sox.

The Fenway shift that the Roayls (I think) put 5 infields to face Jim Rice. I was at the game with my now deceased mother and father.

Game 4 of the ALDS.....Seeing Trot in the on deck circle and then watching him blast the game winning homer into the bleachers! AWESOME!

Game 5 of the 1999 American League Divisional playoff against Cleveland. The Sox were down 0-2 in the series and Ramon Martinez started. He kept the Sox in the game for 6 innings. They were either tied or down by a run in the 7th when Jon Valentin came up with bases loaded and one out. He had a long, probably 8 or 9 pitch at bat during which you could hear the entire crowd exhaling after each pitch. Finally he lined a 3-2 pitch off the wall to put the Sox ahead. I'll never forget the tension during that at bat and how the crowd tensed before each pitch, and then exploded when he hit it. Brian Daubach came up after Valentin and hit a 3 run home run that iced the game, but the crowd hardly noticed because it was so drained after Valentin. After that I would say Trot Nixon's extra inning home run against Oakland in the playoffs last year.

My favorite fenway moment was opening day in 1985. This was the last game I attended with my beloved grandfather. The day started with him and I having a couple of drinks at his home in Brookline Village so we would "stay warm" according to him during the game. Walking (stumbling) up Brookline Ave and going to the game was truly a sight to see. I don't remember who they played, who pitched, or who won. It doesn't matter. Every opening day fills me with memories of him. My only regret is that he never saw them win it all. My only hope is that when I meet him again I will be able to tell him what it was like the day they finally won it all.

I have several favorite moments I have witnessed from the stands at Fenway, especially in the past couple years (Todd Walker game-tying homerun at the end of Sept 2003, bench AND bullpen clearing on-field brawl during Family Day 2002, hearing Bruce sing 'Dirty Water' from right about where Johnny Damon usually stands)... BUT my absolute favorite moment has to be the Opening Day 2003. It was pouring rain and freezing cold, I was hiding underneath the stands when I heard the voice of Ray Charles, singing 'America the Beautiful'. The song drew me out to the grandstand, huddled with an umbrella and a raincoat. It was surreal- this was a version of the song that I had heard in movie soundtracks, and I was seeing and hearing it live.

Originally from Watertown, CT, my favorite Fenway Park moment occurred when Rico Brogna, Watertown native hit a game winning, walk-off grand slam against the Devil Rays. It was great because a hometown hero had achieved his childhood dreams of playing with the Red Sox and gave Watertown a lot to cheer about!

Game 3 of the 1999 ALCS vs. the Yankees. Pedro vs. Clemens. I camped out for 10 hours to get tickets to this game and from the top row of the bleachers saw the sox win 13-1, pedro's 12 strikeouts, clemens not making it out of the 3rd inning. it was one of the truly great games in this historic rivalry.

My first game to Fenway was in 1974. Roger Moret was pitching against Wilbur Wood of the White Sox. The Sox won 2-0 behind Moret who threw a 2 hitter. At this game Jim Rice got his first major league hit.

Opening Day in 1992 with my father and 1997 with my oldest daughter. After a family vacation to visit relatives in Worcester in 1965 I became a Red Sox fan but didn't get to go to a game. I had planned the trip in 1992 when my father asked to go, to make up for not taking his then 8-year-old son to a game back in 1965. Walking to our seats during batting practice, seeing the inside of Fenway Park in person and watching the game with my dad is a memory I will always treasure. In 1997 I took my then 8-year-old daughter to opening day just as my dad had done with me 5 years earlier. To see her excitement and wonder of all that is Fenway Park and the Red Sox was priceless.

My favorite Fenway Park moment was being in Fenway for Sept 30, 1967 and October 1, 1967 and watching two of the most unforgettable games in Fenway's long and storied history. And to top it off winning the 1967 American league pennant with Yaz going 7 for 8 in the two games. I will never forget it.

Game # 3 of the 2003 ALCS was a classic and it had nothing to do with the play on the field. Seeing Pedro jawing at the Yankees all game and then slamming Zimmer's head into the ground was priceless. Then the fiasco in the bullpen was comical when the Sox faithful started throwing stuff at Jeff Nelson (the epitomy of white trash ). I thought a riot was going to break out when they stopped serving beer after the Pedro/Zimmer incident. I scalped a ticket for this game for $250 but it was so worth it. Just your typical day at Fenway!

My favorite moment came at Fenway in 1974. The Red Sox were up by one run, in the top of the ninth inning, Bill North of the A's was on third with one out. I cant remember who hit the fly ball, maybe Joe Rudi, but RIck Miller was playing centerfield, caught the ball, about 60 feet in from of the triangle, and threw North out to end the game. North, even appeared to leave early, however, the play at the plate was awesome with Pudge pushing him toward the backstop.

Despite what he's become, at the time he was good. In April, 2002, I was at Derek Lowe's no-hitter. I remember how the Sox got out way ahead so it wasn't until the 6th inning that I realized he hadn't given up a hit. I didn't say anything, and I was hoping no one else would either. By the time the 8th rolled around, everyone in the park knew it, and the excitement was building. There was a standing ovation in the middle of the 9th all the way through the end. Lowe will probably leave town after the season, but I'll always have that memory of him on that late April, 2002.

In September of 1990 I drove down from New Hampshire on a Friday night to sit in the bleachers and watch the Sox play against the then-division-rival Blue Jays. The two teams were tied in the standings. In the 9th inning the Blue Jays were up by 2 runs, and Tom Henke (an All Star that year) came in to close it out. The Sox tied up the game nd then loaded the bases with one out. There had been so many pinch runners that Jeff Stone (essentially a pinch runner) had to go upto bat. He hit the ball over the drawn in outfielders (Juinior Felix specifically) for the win, the lead in the division (that they would not relinquish), and a segue into the playoffs. The crazy thing about this moment, which we did not know at the time, it was Stone's last major league at bat.
