"The Fenway Mosque"

The biggest milk jug in the world was cool to see, but I also looked at some of the more "traditional" sites in Boston.  Below I went to my mom's most hated Church of Baseball called Fenway Park.  Fenway Park to her is like a mosque to people who love Fox News, or Shell Oil Headquarters to MSNBC lovers.

There were all sorts of statues surrounding the stadium.  I walked around the entire stadium.  The Ted Williams statue looked like the REAL Ted Williams cryogenically frozen which was too creepy for me to pose with. A Big Pappi statue stood outside a merchandise store, but I was afraid to take a picture with it fearing it might eat me.  I took a picture with these statues and we all looked like a pretty good team... the statues and my toupee!


Unfortunately this was not the afternoon before a game, so there were no people anywhere!  I walked down the same street that Ray Kinsella and Terrance Mann drove down in Field of Dreams.  I wish I had time to find the location of Terrance Mann's house in Boston.  I know it's the first window without a chicken, but I don't know which area of Boston!  (Only hardcore fans of Field of Dreams will get that reference.)  Most of the shops around the stadium were closed.  I got a picture at the famous Yawkey (did they mean to call it Yankee) Way.  As you can see, no people.


I turned the corner and walked right behind the stadium.  Again, it was like there was a zombie apocalypse in Boston.  There was only this one guy, who looked like a tall zombie, walking toward me.


My mom was very troubled that I was taking pictures so close to enemy territory.  Luckily she was in Pasadena or she would have made me sleep with AC and Mr. Vegas!
