It was a nice New England night for early April. Nothing like the coldness that we feared when the date was announced: opening night for the Boston Red Sox. All the players came out on the field. Mike Lowell getting the biggest cheers from the crowd. At various points of the game, people like Steven Tyler, Neil Diamond made appearences. Of all the people who showed, it was really nice to see Ryan Westmoreland. Mr. Westmoreland is a top prospect in the Red Sox minor league system who recently had brain surgery. One can only hope for Godspeed and a quick recovery. Our arch rivals, the New York Yankees were also coming to down. It had everything it could possibly have for a potential classic.
Play ball! At first, things didn't look good for the Red Sox as the Yankees went out to a quick 5-1 lead. But thanks to Kevin Youkalis and Dustin Pedroia double teaming a vulnerable Yankees bullpen, the Red Sox came back and was able to pull out a victory.
It's only game one. Some on the concerns we had pre-season showed during the game (Big Papi, Josh Beckett). But a win is a win and it was a great opening night.
