The Red Sox pulled off one of the crazier wins I’ve seen today, coming from behind 7-2 in the eighth inning to win 8-7. Make that eight straight wins for the team.
Hot start to the season! I tried to experiment a little bit with off camera strobe inside the tunnel before the game. I am happy with some of the early results and look forward to expanding on the concept more this season.

We’re underway again at Fenway Park! This week’s Opening Day was my seventh with the Red Sox, and ninth in Major League Baseball. I’m getting old.
As Opening Days go, this was a good one. The Red Sox came from behind to beat the Tampa Bay Rays on a walk-off hit by Hanley Ramirez in the twelfth inning.
Before the game, the team welcomed Winter Olympians and Paralympians from the New England region in a moving pre-game ceremony, which included a special appearance by David Ortiz.
