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!
