Photo Blog and a Sweep

Dad --

Yes, we couldn't have chosen a better game to go to. It was warm. We got a great table at the Knothole Restaurant and the Sox won the game to complete the sweep of the Angels. That means the Angels are now 0 and 7 this season against our Sox.



As you can see Aidan was excited for the game too. He was all geared up in his little baseball romper and cute little Red Sox cap. (Thank you Nana and Pops.) He was ready for a great game and although he didn't pay too close attention, he did have a ball walking up and down the aisles. We even tried to get some autographs, but were too late. Our favorite players had warmed up before we got there. Next time.



After Aidan got a close up view of the field, we walked back up to the restaurant for tons of food and an intense game. As you can see Aidan was totally into it. He especially liked the grandslam from Scutaro. I was pretty impressed as well. And while Aidan missed that phenomenal catch by Bill Hall because he was cruising up and down the aisles with Daddy, Nana, and Grandpa Westerland, I was cheering loud enough for the both of us.

So, in short, we all had a great time at the park. Next time, we'll have to do it with you, Pops. It'll be a blast.

And now a little trivia for you sports fans out there. Last night while watching ESPN's Baseball Tonight I discovered that while the Sox have been around since 1901, yesterday's game was the very first time in team history that every member of the infield has gotten a home run. That's right, it started with Beltre (3rd base) and Hall (2nd base) in the 2nd. Then Yooooouk (1st base) tied it up with a homer in the 3rd. And Scutaro (Shortstop) slammed the door with that salami in the 8th. Pretty cool, huh? Aidan thought so.
