Home Opener April 9, 2008
Posted by lee in Passion: Sports.trackback
Tuesday, April 8 was a really important day for the Red Sox. First of all, it was their first home game of the season and second, they were giving out the 2007 World Championship awards.
I think that watching the highlights of the pre game ceremony was very exciting because the Red Sox held a lot of events. Some of the events at Fenway Park that day was showing the highlights of 2007 and how they won the World Series, the Parade of Nations that featured 62 countries, the banners of all the World Series Championship banners being raised at the green monster, and then, The ‘Champions of Boston” came out of the clubhouse with the World Championship rings so that they could be handed out to the World Series Champions.
Some of the Champions of Boston included the Boston Celtics, The Boston Bruins and the New England Patriots.
It was one of the best celebrations because during the middle of the celebration, F F-16 jets flew over Fenway Park.
Also, the Red Sox game started at with the Former Boston Red Sox First Baseman Bill Buckner pitching the ceremonial first pitch of the game.
And finally, to close everything off, Johnny Pesky started out the game by calling “Play Ball” to begin the game.
