Well I flew LYS-CDG-BOS yesterday on AF where I scored an op-up to biz. Great flight! I checked into my hotel and made my way to Fenway. I arrived at 5pm, drank for a few hours while trying quite unsuccessfully to find both a ticket and a Yankee jersey for sale. I did see several people wearing Yankee jerseys though. And no fights. The atmosphere was fantastic before the game. Even though there were no fights, somehow I was half covered in beer as the pre-game celebration was pretty wild. Most every bar had dozens or over a hundred in line by 7pm. But I found the back door of Who's on First was an easy entry.

All the Red Sox fans ignored the obvious (they were overmatched) and lived for the moment. That was great. A lot of people were amazed that I flew in from France for the game. But for some reason no one talked much about baseball. We were all caught up in the moment of just being there.

As the game started, ticketless I headed back to my hotel. It was 2am in France and I was bushed. Waking up now, I see the Yankees destroyed the Red Sox so I'm glad I didn't stay for the funeral. I'm told the Yankees are staying at my hotel. Maybe I'll see some smiling faces at breakfast this morning.
