Gameday in Boston

Today was a pretty hectic day at Fenway Park. Today was the first day of a 6-day, 6-game homestand with the first half of the week against AL East foe Toronto and the weekend series against the New York Mets of the NL East in Interleague Play. I arrived to work at 11 AM today, and my day consisted of a variety of different jobs. I had to spend part of my day readying the camera pits next to the dugouts, making sure they were suitable for use, and I also spent some time in the morning readying the Visitor dugout, making sure it was up to Blue Jays standards. Along with working in the turf warehouse where I cleaned some equipment and the work area, I worked in the infield, readied the bases for batting practice, and set up the screens for batting practice. Other work on the field included some edging and manicuring of the turf around the Coaches box on both the first and third baselines. I got off work a little after 3 PM, and came back to Emmanuel, relaxed, took a shower, and ran some errands before the game. I had the game off tonight, so I met up with Phil, Kevin, and AJ, three of the other interns on the crew, at a restaurant located right behind Fenway Park to relax and watch some of the game. It was pretty cool watching the game on television and looking out the window and seeing Fenway Park. It's still nice having my roommate here as he's someone to adjust to the job and the city with. Phil and I actually both go into work at 8 AM tomorrow morning, so I imagine we'll both be off before gametime. A family friend of mine from Raleigh is supposed to be in town tomorrow night, so hopefully we'll be able to meet up and watch the Sox game together. I think that's all for tonight though, thanks a lot for reading. Go Red Sox!
