7:18
they had just a few i can't even tell
7:20
you
7:21
how much of my life i've always thought
7:22
i always kind of had like a daydream in
7:24
the back of my head that one day i would
7:26
be attending
7:27
a game here and that bird just swooped
7:30
in
7:31
and i'm doing it all right now inside
7:34
the stadium for game time
7:36
this is the massachusetts bullpen cart
7:39
right here
7:41
look at
7:42
that awesome look at that
7:45
the glove right there on the light oh
7:47
that's sweet that is pretty awesome
7:49
let's get the greens as if the rays are
7:51
taking batting practice at the moment
7:53
right now
7:54
getting a little bp
7:56
out here on the field very very nice
7:58
sitting over on the third base line
8:00
there he goes ooh
8:03
launching it out there
8:05
just center
8:14
up up into the green monster look at
8:14
that's up there on the ground way up
8:15
there oh that's out of the stadium
8:16
that's out
8:18
yeah and that looks like the end of the
8:20
warm-ups for the razor and this little
8:23
courtyard just outside technically still
8:25
in the stadium is where they have
8:27
well they they have these all over but
8:29
they have fenway pranks they maybe go
8:31
ahead and start off with a hot dog
8:32
beforehand and they also have italian
8:34
sausage also bottled water i think
8:37
instead of getting italian sausage
8:38
though i gotta go with the old stand by
8:41
the fenway frank which is just a just a
8:43
regular traditional hot dog but
8:45
boston style
8:47
fourth of july was a hot dog oh here's a
8:49
familiar face
8:51
mickey mouse
8:53
is right here they have these in a lot
8:54
of different stadiums
8:56
they have one of these at the trop they
8:58
have one of these at angel stadium
9:01
and also got a little souvenir cup the
9:03
green monster
9:05
uh on the side of it there well at least
9:06
the scoreboard all right i went a little
9:08
a little overboard on the mustard oh
9:10
you're going you're doubling down i went
9:12
overload on the ketchup and the dog two
9:15
dogs i went with two dogs but i went
9:17
with just mustard sands ketchup you're
9:19
going with full on the double dog action
9:23
i love the bread yeah the bread maybe
9:25
that's the what a fenway prank is i
9:27
think so the style of the bread itself
9:29
kind of how it's like wrapped around
9:31
almost looks like just like a
9:32
traditional loaf of bread slice and then
9:34
just wrap it around it all right i'm
9:36
going into the fenway prank
9:39
and normally i eat a lot during the game
9:41
but we decided we have pretty good seats
9:44
i don't want to spend right half an
9:45
inning or an inning wait
9:47
let's get the tummies full beforehand
9:50
lots of souvenirs around here
9:58
and there is the starting pitchers jalen

10:26
over here in this window is a collection
10:28

10:32
just to kind of give
10:34
you know that one over there is not

10:38

10:40
there's david ortiz oh and up top they
10:42
have these fans these are the same fans
10:44
that are used on the indiana jones stunt
10:47
show
10:48
at disney mgm studio this is kind of
10:50
neat this little corridor
10:52
shows the
10:54
timeline
10:58
of all the different
10:58
logos through 1949 it was just the b
11:02
and it's kind of gone back to how it was
11:05
in 3132 would just be in the socks
11:07
that's kind of the logo now and the home
11:09
clubhouse was a single level area before
11:11
it expanded in 47
11:13
with the new area above the trainer's
11:15
room
11:16
43 years later the clubhouse added a
11:18
weight room and multi-purpose room
11:21
the stadium was built in 1912 so
11:24
a lot of history slowly getting closer
11:27
to first pitch
11:29
stadium is filling up this place is
11:31
going to be
11:38
your boston red sox
11:44
a day in which we celebrate our
11:46
country's legacy and honor those who
11:48
have made the ultimate sacrifice to
11:50
defend it
11:51
to the world america is a beacon of
11:52
freedom and independence but to us
12:10
which was renovated in 1992
12:10
opponents of the red sox have always
12:11
used third base side dug out of fenway
12:13
since the block parked open in 1912.
12:15
about the park's first several days
12:18
several decades the red sox would dress
12:20
in the first base side and cross the
12:22
field to access
12:24
their dugout that's pretty interesting
12:26
and then it was renovated back in 1992.
12:29
i'm sitting right here
12:47
jimmy
13:14
that is incredible everyone up on the
13:15
green monsters holding the flags they're
13:18
all the first row is holding it gives me
13:20
cold chills
13:22
about to begin let's go baby
13:29
first pitch of fenway
13:29
i like it you can just kind of lean over
13:31
yeah this is actually quite
13:58
and there are definitely a lot of
13:58
people here
14:16
stadium
14:16
for sure
14:17
all right it appears as if we were
14:19
sitting in 65
14:21
c row c we should be in
14:24
64 c so i've moved over
14:26
a little bit
14:27
to in front of the p i'm directly in
14:28
front if you look at right field there
14:30
is not an empty seat but you can't even
14:32
see the ted williams yellow seat before
14:34
you hit the 500
14:36
502 feet homer 502.
14:40
at right field
15:12
out here
15:27
one the face is loaded
15:27
like that
15:42
right over there is stew the owner of
15:42
the race
15:43
yeah the team owner of the rays is
15:44
standing up right there
15:59
is not happy with the race
16:17
and that makes it one to zero
16:35
here we go
16:53
look at that upper deck too actually
16:53
participated
17:36
oh they're gonna get up on the dugout i
17:36
think so
17:37
i think she's looking to see she's
17:38
scooping out the scene
17:41
she's just scooping out the scene here
17:43
you go hop on the dugout can only hand
17:45
triple-a give him something easy
17:54
lady liberty
17:54
crown on too
17:57
all right it is
18:05
also the guys next to us got kicked out
18:05
for saying stuff they shouldn't have
18:07
probably been saying yeah they're gone
18:12
that was very interesting it was a
18:12
little almost a little bit of an
18:13
altercation here but
18:15
yeah that was something i didn't film it
18:17
i felt like it was appropriate
18:18
to film but yeah the seats next to me
18:20
are now kind of empty all right it's now
18:22
into the eighth inning
18:24
phillips
18:25
at the plate
18:41
man that was lucky all right looks there
18:41
red sox are pulling their pitcher
18:44
bringing in another pitcher
18:52
they're making the chain let's go red
18:52
sox red is now at second
18:54
wanda franco was at the plate
18:57

20:30
all the way from tampa up here in boston
20:32

20:54
oh yeah
20:54

20:55
oh just barely foul almost to the fist
20:58
bowl got randy on deck here
21:17
and the stadium is now clearing out this
21:17
place was full
21:20
to the brim
21:22
which kind of made it extra
21:24
extra special one of these days i'm
21:26
gonna sit up
21:28
there mean that's kind of like that's
21:30
like a bucket list thing too i mean
21:32
going to fenway is bucket list but
21:34
sitting on the green monster
21:36
that would be cool too
21:38
it's pretty fascinating how the seats

boston fenway park
22:29
a historic
22:30
first time for me going to a game here
22:32
at the stadium
22:34
which is pretty awesome pretty danko i
22:37
have now accomplished wrigley field and
22:39
now i have accomplished fenway two in my
22:42
opinion if you talk about baseball are
22:43
the two baseball stadiums at voices have
22:46
you ever been to either one of those
22:47
wrigley or fenway and i have now been to
22:49
both
