Sox Edge Yankees In The 10th

Luckily we had a very enthusiastic baseball fan to help explain everything. It was Chrissie and Ryan's first visit to Fenway Park, they go for the Minnessota Twins I think, and it was actually a great deal more entertaining than you might think. Certainly more fun than Aussie Rules.

The Red Sox and the Yankees are possibly the fiercest rivals in baseball but whereas the Yankees are in the ascendancy the Sox are in the doldrums, they're not even making the play offs this year so last night was their penultimate game for the season.

There was beer, soft pretzels, hot dogs, singing, a mexican wave, drunk people and A Rod batting for the Yankees. Peta and I acually left at the start of the 8th Innings as it was quite chilly and already gone midnight. I think the game actually finished at half past one and the Sox edged it which would have been nice to see...but not that nice.

Next stop the Celtics!
