Back to Fenway

On the heels of our family outing to Fenway Park, the cub scouts went the next night to be color guard for the playing of the National Anthem before the game. The pack had to limit the number of cubs who went, and Casey "drew a long straw" to begin with, but then when two of the other scouts couldn't make it at the last minute, Beau got to go after all.



The Fenway officials don't mind if the cubs and parents stay to watch the game, but it's standing room only. This time, though, the pack got to "stand" in the Green Monster seats -- the new(-ish), and much coveted, seats atop the "Green Monstah": the famously high (37 feet) left field wall at Fenway. Some of the kids even got to sit down for a bit thanks to the generous ticket-holders.


They only stayed through the second inning, but they got to see a bit of the game that the Red Sox eventually won 8-5 against the Yankees.
