The 2022 Major League Baseball regular season has come to a close. The Red Sox played their final game of the year yesterday in a rainy cold Fenway. The year ended on a high note with a win and series sweep, and several emotional moments after a frustrating year on the field.
This wraps my eleventh season with the Boston Red Sox. I’ll have more to say later, but I’m feeling proud of the work our team was able to do despite challenging circumstances this year. We press on!
I am catching up on blog work from the summer as I’ve switched platforms to house my blog directly within my new website. Excuse me while I catch up on my backlog of work!

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.
