For some time now I have wanted to go to a spring training game. I am not a big baseball fan. If I am at a game in Toronto I will root for the Jays, but I seldom go to games. This is part;y due to the fact that our family is very busy sailing during the summer.
once a year we try to get our good friends the Thurbers to a game. Bill was raised in New England and is a true Red Socks fan. He has indoctrinated our youngest daughter Kelly, who is a big Red Sock fan now.
Our rental home is in Bonita Springs which is about 20 minutes from Jetblue Stadium the home of The Red Socks. This past Tuesday we headed out to see Boston tale on the Marlins. The day was perfect and the seats were excellent. The game was made even more enjoyable by our neighbours who while being Boston fans did not gloat over the Maple Leafs collapse last year in the Stanley Cup against the Bruins.
I will stop talking and let you see the pictures.

| Game on |

| Boston is ready to hit it out of the park, but did not |
 |
| Not even Ortiz could save the day |
 |
| The stadium is built to be a Fenway with good weather. This is an exact replica of the Green Monster |

Boston was safe here but lost the game 5 - 4

| The fans leave satisfied that at least the defence was good. If you look closely you will see Tor is tied with Det |
