Futures at Fenway

So, today was the minor league doubleheader at Fenway Park featuring the AA and AAA affiliates of the Boston Red Sox facing off against the affiliates of the Baltimore Orioles. I went into work at 7 AM, and had a fairly quick morning, as we had jobs to take care of before batting practice began at 9:30 AM. We ended up breaking down BP at 11:15, and the AA game started off without a hitch at Noon. Per the game sheet that is posted by our boss every game I was assigned to be on drag again this afternoon, meaning I would be dragging the infield at least 6 times during the day. I imagine this doesn't sound like much, but it can get pretty tiring after a few times, especially when so much other work is going on that day. However, the AA Boston team ended up winning, and as soon as the game was over we had 42 minutes to prep the field for the AAA game. I worked patching the visitor bullpen mound, and then went to sweep off the batters box at home plate. It was a busy 42 minutes, but because we're definitely the best grounds crew in all of baseball, we got it done without a problem. Too bad the AAA Boston team couldn't manage to win, but, I guess 1 out of 2 isn't terrible. After work I worked in the visitor bullpen again before helping take down the batter's eye in center field and leaving the ballpark for the night. In all, it was a 12 hour day, and it was pretty tiring, but fun to participate in.

After work I went out for a little bit with Phil before going to the girls' room here at Emmanuel and saying goodbye to one of my friends who I won't see again before I go home Friday. I'm gonna miss her and the rest of my Boston friends, but it's going to be great to be home.

Speaking of which, it's only 6 days until I'm back, can't wait. But, it's back to work at 11 AM for me, so I'm off the commputer for a while! Have a great night everyone.
