There's A Green Monster Behind Me...
Post-season baseball in Boston.
More to come?
Maybe a chance to win an 8th World Series title?.
The
Green Monster wall in Fenway Park towers VERY high when you stand at the bottom.
The players naturally don't have their hands in their pockets but I was taking a tour of the stadium a few years ago - just AFTER the 2006 World Series - and it was a very cold day.
The leaves were changing colors and it was a fine time to be a visitor in Boston.
The
Boston Red Sox had won the Series in 2004 - for the first time since their last win in 1918 - won again in 2007 and currently are the reigning Champions.
Let's see how the playoffs go.
The
Green Monster is waiting.

He Steals A Base, You Eat A Taco.....
It takes a LOT of nerve to walk into a store and ask the clerk to give you free product.
Fortunately, Barbara behind the counter at the North Charleston Taco Bell at 4:01, knew about the
Free Taco offer from 2-5 today (Nov 30) due to the World Series base stealing success by Red Sox rookie Jacoby Ellsbury.
The big surprise: there was no crowd at the store on Rivers Avenue. Well, it WAS after lunch and a little early for dinner. There are 10 stores in Charleston..wonder if there were freebie-seekers at any of the others?
In fact, as I was getting details, a trio came in that had NOT heard about the
Free Taco offer and, listening to my story, each was quick to order a crispy 89 cents beef taco.
Like me they also ordered other things..additional tacos, soft drinks, etc.
Barbara DID mention that four other people had been in just after 2pm and two had walked out with just the free taco. Maybe they were disgruntled New York Yankees fans?
The great American Pasttime...free tacos.
