Apparently it's us...
Sep. 19th, 2003 12:16 am...and not the seats.
Just as we were about to settle into our regular Fenway Park seats this evening, someone approached us and asked if we would mind trading for their (significantly better) seats, since they had friends or family in the seats immediately in front of ours. We were happy to oblige, especially since their seats were four rows further forward and two sections nearer home plate than ours.
So we went and sat in the other seats -- it's really amazing how much difference two sections make. I could happily sit in those seats on a regular basis.
Then it occurred to
jwg to worry whether our charm would lose its magic by our not being in our usual seats. But no fear -- the Sox won, despite a somewhat nervous-making ninth. They are now 16-3 in games attended by us.
If (as seems increasingly likely -- sorry,
susandennis!) the Sox make the postseason, I'm tempted not to let any of the folks who share our subscription buy any of the games. We're clearly better for the team than they are.

Date: 2003-09-19 03:30 pm (UTC)The sound system is so bad. In both our seats and last night's section 25 seats you can't hear Take Me Out to the Ball Game being played - and it takes several lines before you can hear the nearby crowd singing. Sometimes the out-of-sync out-of-tune is just incredible.
Does anyone know what they play on the PA system before the bottom of the eight inning? It has words something like "We shall ... or We are..." The only words I can make out clearly are:
"so good, so good, so good " not sung but chanted.
