Fenway Park, the storied home of the Boston Red Sox, those loveable losers, turns 100 years old this year, and in a nice bit of thematic synchronicity the team is playing like they're about 100 themselves. Check out a bit of lore from the official Fenway Corporo-history machine.
With that in mind, and with the big celebration this week at the park when the Yankees come to town, I thought I'd share some of my favorite memories of Fenway over the years. What are yours?
One time, I guess, my dad took my sister and I to a game when I was, like, 12? I dunno. I probably got a bloody nose and whined the whole time.
One time I sat behind a giant fucking poll.

| me, basically |
One other time I had shitty seats and it was like, wait, why am I here again?

| me, literally |
Uh, oh right... this one million times I went and stood in long lines with a bunch of disgusting savages eating hot dogs and drinking $50 worth of beer water all day. Always remember that. Someone had a funny hat on as I recall. Excuse me, just got to get up for a second. Sorry, sorry. Stubs toe/smashes someone in the shins/spills beer all over tits. Vague memories of throwing my spinal column out of whack folding my meat and bones into one of those torture chamber chairs. Who designed this park again, the guy from Saw?
Always remember the time the Dave Roberts stole second, because I know another guy named Dave Roberts I worked with at the time, and I remember thinking that definitely did not look like him.

Remember when they won the World Series? That was awesome. I wasn't there or anything, but I watched in on TV. Actually, I don't remember if I did or not. Pretty sure I was in the bullpen taking batting practice with my nose when it actually went down. Don't do drugs during major sporting events, because you'll miss the magic moments.
Like this one, whatever this is from.

And don't forget the NKOTBSB concert last summer!
Oh shit I did forget that for a second!
I remember all the times the Red Sox didn't make it to the post season the last few years.
I remember the time I almost caught a Jim Rice foul ball but some fat fuck took it right out of my 9 year old hands.
I remember that time Affleck and Renner did an armored car heist and then...shit. Wrong Fenway. I'm putting this article in my rear view.
I'm putting this whole blog in my reahview
