An action packed day at Fenway, as former sluggers Manny Ramirez and David ortiz returned for pre-game festivities. The team also reintroduced the Nike City Connect jerseys to the field.
The team is starting to heat up, and with that, better pictures are starting to flow. Here is a gallery of images from Saturday’s come from behind win against the Seattle Mariners at Fenway.
The Red Sox beat the Rays in a marathon ALDS Game 3 at Fenway Park on Sunday thanks to Christian Vázquez’s walk-off home run in the 13th inning. This was an epic back and forth battle that could have ended several times from the ninth inning on, but somehow kept finding a way to continue on deep into the night.
Hands down one of the most epic finishes I’ve seen in all these years. Christian has a way of coming in in those clutch moments. Kind of crazy! Boston leads the series 2-1.

After an extended delay due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Boston Red Sox began their 2020 Major League Baseball campaign against the Baltimore Orioles on Opening Night at Fenway Park.
This was an absolutely wild day to be a part of from beginning to end. I was at the park at 5:15AM for the sunrise, and left at 12:45PM (with a brief nap in the morning).
A beautiful pre-game ceremony incorporated elements of the Black Lives Matter movement, and remember lives lost due to COVID-19.
I can’t remember an Opening Day so busy, which is unexpected given we are playing in front of an empty ballpark. Overall, I am tired, but very happy to be here, and feel lucky to have witnessed history yesterday.
