Here are my photos from last night’s game between the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox. This is a big series for a lot of reasons, highest among them the final games at Fenway Park for Alex Rodriguez, who will retire from Major League Baseball after tomorrow’s game at Yankee Stadium.
My job is to document the Red Sox, but I’ve tried to shoot A-Rod’s time here this week heavily. It’s a good story, and he’s a great subject to shoot, regardless of your thoughts on his career. It’s neat seeing him and David Ortiz, two of the game’s biggest stars, play on the same field in the final years of their careers.
Last night didn’t end well for the Sox, as Ortiz left the game in the ninth inning after fouling one off his chin. Let’s hope he recovers quick, and we can get a win tonight. A-Rod’s last game at Fenway Park – it’s sure to be a crazy one tonight!
