Boston Vs. Cleveland 8/17/15

A few weeks back while I was at work, a reader of this blog who happens to live in the area, whom I had only met once mind you, dm'ed me on Twitter with an INCREDIBLY generous offer of two free tickets to the Red Sox game that night. I was honestly pretty shocked. It was just such a nice gesture for anyone to make, let alone someone who had only met me briefly in person  a few years ago. With that said, I just want to truly thank, "P"(Didn't want to put his full name here) for his generosity.

After work I met up with my girlfriend and picked up the tickets. We then promptly drove up to Boston. Where I used to live was a lot closer to Fenway, about 65-70 minutes, and my new place is about 95 minutes away, but I still like to take any opportunities I can to make it up to the park.

We were able to make it to the stadium while batting practice was winding down which happened to be much earlier than  I had expected to arrive, and I saw Pitcher, Trevor Bauer, signing over the dugout, so I raced over and was able to get him to sign a baseball. He must have signed around 50 things for people, and he was just very nice.

After everyone else came in, I decided to go to the NESN set on Yawkey Way to see who was doing the pre-game show  because I had seen that a number of my friends have had good luck over there in the past.

Hall of Fame Pitcher, Dennis Eckersley was doing the show with Tom Caron, AND nobody was around the exit of the set, so we went and got some food and came back closer to the end of the show. When the show ended, Dennis was walking over and when I asked him to sign, he couldn't have been any nicer. It was VERY hot so I was happy and thankful that he did it, and was extra happy to have met yet another Hall of Famer, and to add another Red Sox player to my list. I have now met 140+ Red Sox players.

Eck was also kind enough to take a photo with me.

I may have only gotten two autographs at this game, but when one is a Hall of Fame legend, there is little to complain about.
