Trip to Atlanta

I took a class about 40 miles west of Atlanta this week. In a stroke of good luck, I found out the Red Sox were playing a three game Interleague series with the Braves and went to the first game on Monday night. The Sox lost but it was fun to go to the game. I hadn't been to a Red Sox game in more than 10 years! I got out of class at 4:00 on Tuesday, went back to the hotel and took a nap and woke up with nothing to do. I figured I'd drive back into Atlanta and see if I could get tickets. As I was walking up to the stadium I heard a guy say something about getting rid of tickets. It turned out that he had two extra tickets and gave me both of them! The Sox shut out the Braves 4-0 and it was a fun game to watch.
Wednesday I did the same thing as Tuesday and scored another free ticket behind the Red Sox dugout. It was a great game, the Red Sox got a home run on the 3rd pitch of the game and the scoring didn't stop.... 11-0 by the time it was over. The best part was the foul ball I caught in the 8th off Alex Cora. It came down about seven rows ahead of me, passed through all the grasping fans, hit the top of a seat, and bounced right to me. I was thrilled. My total expense for the night was $9.50, five bucks for parking, and $4.50 for a frozen lemonade.... good times!
