Jill and Byron and their three boys are on vacation, tonight taking in the ballgame at Fenway. Jill has been an Angels fan since she was a wee Sweetie herself and tonight she got some excitement. Not only did her Angels win 6-2 over the Bosox, but Angel pitcher John Lackey took a no-hitter into the ninth, giving up a single and home run with one out. He hung on for the win.
NewMexiKen saw a one-hitter (Nolan Ryan) in person once, but never a no-no. By the late innings I was so excited at the prospect of Jill and family getting the chance, you’d have thought I was there myself.
Byron, by the way, had this to say earlier in the evening:
“Yankee stadium has some charm. Wrigley has tons of charm. Fenway has no charm. This stadium needs to be blown up.”
