1911! History! 1911!

The Dodgers are 12-0 at home to start the 2009 season! 13-0 ties a Major League Baseball record set way back in, you guessed it, 1911. This guy wanted everyone to know that we were going to be a part of history, and the best way to celebrate being a part of history is to start The Wave.

We made history in several other ways, too:
(1.) He started The Wave counterclockwise -- an MLB first.
(2.) He started The Wave while the home team was at bat -- also an MLB first.
(3.) He started The Wave while the home team had the bases loaded -- again, an MLB first.

For the record, the Dodgers won. After the game, it was announced that Manny Ramirez would be suspended for 50 games for testing positive for a banned substance.

Red Sox Hall Of Shame

I am by no measure knowledgeable about the American League, but I can tell you that Tyler Webster never played for the Red Sox. He was one of many Boston fans who show their respect and love for the hallowed tradition of 'The Green Monstah' by writing tributes to their beloved Crimson Hosed baseballers.

As for the game, the Sox lost 1-0 to the Devils Rays behind a sterling effort from pitcher Scott Kazmir -- who, according to the guy standing next to me, throws 'wicked hard' causing the batters to swing 'wicked late'.

Sox Tix? We Got Plenty

K demonstrates that a standing-room-only ticket does not necessarily prevent you from sitting down as there are plenty of seats at Fenway.
