I only hope I can make it to the other old stadium (Fenway Park) before they tear that place down.
I went there the summer after high school graduation and it was every bit as wonderful as I thought it would be. Do try to get there. You won't be sorry.
Got to see Luis Tiant pitch against Catfish Hunter and Rollie Fingers come in on relief. I had my very first stadium beer at Fenway.
I know what you mean about having to hate the Cubs a few times a year. I rooted for the Astros at Wrigley, but the fans didn't mind. :)
