Sunday May 24th, 1998
New York Yankees 14 @ Boston Red Sox 4
Stadium: Fenway Park
Gas: No Gas
Lodging:Braintree, MA

After having breakfast at Dunkin Donut (Which seem to be everywhere in Boston) we took the Red Line right out of Fenway Park. It was a thrill to walk around and just soak in the atmosphere around the stadium. We were told by many people that we had to have a Fenway Frank. I was expecting much more, but ultimately I was a little disappointed. This is my opinion of course, but the best stadium food we had on our trip was in Milwaukee and their brats. Now that was some good food.
We sat in the right field bleachers just above the Yankees bullpen out by the "Pesky Pole" so we got to hear all of the Sox fans cuss and ridicule all the Yankee pitchers, especially David Cone when he was warming up as the starter. It was really exciting to be apart of the Yankee/Red Sox rivalry. The only problem was it was a rather boring game with the Yankees dominating the whole time and we were in the hot sun the whole game. But it was still great to say we've been to a Yankee/Red Sox game.
Following the game, we still had the whole afternoon ahead of us. So we did some more sightseeing. We went to the top of the Prudential Tower and enjoyed the beautiful views up there. We headed back to Boston Common because we enjoyed our time there the previous night, enjoyed some Ben & Jerry's and then headed back to Braintree.
