After exploring the outside area for some time, we went to gate D to get our media credentials.  We were greeted by Jillian LaFlam, a producer for the show "Red Sox Stories," and a camera man.  They took us on the field for the Red Sox's private batting practice.  We walked around the field, and were allowed anywhere on the dirt perimeter from 1st base to 3rd base.  It was a really pristine day, and a memorable experience for us both.  We were literally a few feet from all of the players.  Both Neal and Alon got a batting practice ball, and we even both got an autograph from Trot Nixon [it was his first game back in Boston after leaving for Cleveland]. 

We then went to some seats and sat down for an interview for the show.  Our story will air on UPN 38 on June 10th, at 10:30 PM [only aired in New England].  The camera man also took footage of us on the field, and in our seats during the game.  We're excited to see the show! 

The game itself was very exciting: Youkilis hit a rare inside the park home run, and Manny hit a rocket off the seats over the Green Monster.  Schilling pitched a gem, 10 Ks over 7 innings, 0 walks and 1 run.  Our actual seats were in right field, behind a pole [obstructed view].  Alon got heckled a lot for wearing his Yankee hat. We debuted our "road trip" sign, and got a lot of good feedback.  The area outside of Fenway is festive; street entertainers, a lot of bars, and many people walking around and having a good time.  What a wonderful day!
