Peaks Island, Maine...Last Day
First I need to tell you about a boy. His name is Jacoby Ellsbury. He is the center fielder for the Boston Red Sox and he is pretty!. I had the opportunity to photograph Jacoby in 2007, shortly after the Sox took home the World Series trophy. The picture to the left is not mine. I am just showing you how pretty he is. It is definitely safe to say that he is my favorite player. I have a hand full of photographs that I have shot of him over the years. But, this post really isn't about those pictures. It is about Fenway Park!
This morning I took a ferry to Portland, a taxi to the Concord Trailways bus station, a bus to South Station, Boston, Mass., and two subway cars to Fenway Park. I have arrived!
The game just wasn't the same because, my boy Jacoby was out due to a shoulder injury. He will be returning but, not until sometime in June or July. So after the game was over and the Boston Red Sox spanked the Cleveland Indians 12-1. I had the opportunity to walk on to the field of Fenway Park. These chances only come but once in a lifetime and here I am!
My hand touching the Green Monster wall at Fenway Park. Happy Birthday Fenway! You are 100 year-old this year. Tomorrow I will leave Peaks Island. This is my last postcard. Thanks for coming along.
