Fenway sets new consecutive sell-out record

There is a new all-time consecutive sell-out record in baseball and it belongs to none other than the ‘Fenway faithful.’
Red Sox fans did their part in purchasing all of the wicked overpriced tickets at Fenway Park for 456 straight games. The streak started on May 15th, 2003 and extends over 5 seasons. In that time span the Red Sox have made the playoffs four times and won the World Series twice.
It’s disappointing to know that I personally only contributed to 2 of the games in the sellout streak because tickets are so hard to find and so damned expensive. Nonetheless, this is just another reason that I’m proud to be a Red Sox fan and you should be too.

Hello. I have never tried this sort of interaction over the internet before. Want to see if my suggestion has any merit whatsoever and don’t know where to send it for best effect so I’ll quickly put it here then .
The catcher might improve his batting, at honing-in on the ball by using a slightly lighter bat and relaxing his swing. Looks too much like he’s chopping wood out there.
Haha. I doubt Tek is going to read the site and see that, BUT you bring up a good point. He really looks like he’s struggling just to make contact at times. He’s been a lot better as of late (his AVG was even up to .230 a week ago!) but it’s still sickening to watch.
It’s hard to tell someone to relax when they’re hitting like he is but it’d definitely help. Thankfully Kotsay and Bay are both bringing good wood to the team so Varitek’s struggles aren’t as big of a problem at the moment.
I give Red Sox fans a lot of shit for “Red Sox Nation”, but this is impressive nonetheless.
It helps to have a winning team and a small ballpark. I don’t see the streak ending anytime soon. That’s a good thing for the team but a bad thing for fans like me that want to go see 20 games a year :\
