Go Sox!

This past Tuesday I attended the Oakland A's opening day - against the Red Sox! It was my first time up at the Coliseum and I was happy to see many other Red Sox fans at the game and to determine that A's fans are much less scary than Raiders fans. Of course, I was also happy because the right team won. Daisuke and Papelbon both looked very strong.

Based on my Fenway background, two things about the logistics of the game were highly surprising: (1) I could buy tickets online - all you Boston fans know the scarcity of tickets back home; (2) the Coliseum has abundant parking right next to the stadium - we even showed up a little late and were still able to drive in and get a good parking spot.

I also have tickets to a Red Sox-A's game during the Memorial Day series. Can't wait!
