I even bought Cracker Jack

Last night we went to a Red Sox game. Some notes:

• This was the first time the Red Sox played at Nationals Park since the Nats moved to DC.
  
• It was also the day after the worst Metro accident in its history.
  
• This meant we had to reroute our Metro trip to the stadium.
  
• Also, there was a moment of silence at the beginning of the game to remember the victims of the crash.
  
• Our tickets for the game were cheaper than any we've gotten for either Fenway Park or Camden Yards.
  
• But our seats were way way better.
  
• Red Sox fans outnumbered Nats fans by at least 2:1.
  
• The turnout for the game was a record for Nationals Park. A Red Sox fan a couple rows in front of us stood up after this announcement, and said something to the effect of, "on behalf of all the Red Sox fans here, you're welcome!"
  
• I think Sox fans just like to bellow "Yooooooooooouk!" because of the way it sounds.
  
• This is the first time I heard "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" instead of "God Bless America" during the 7th inning stretch in, like, years.
  
• Son the Younger does not deal well with being out late at night.
  
• We didn't even stay until the end of the game.
  
• Much to Husband's and Son the Elder's disappointment.
  
• Go, Sox!
  

A warning salvo
