A Walk in the PAAHK!

 

Am I a Red Sox fan?
You bet! Grew up in Massachusetts. As a little kid, I remember taking a marker and drawing a big number 8 on the back of a white t-shirt. Carl Yastrzemski was THE MAN. When I was in college, which was just a foul ball away from the Paaaak,  I used to go to games at Fenway after class (yes, sometimes during class!). Back then, you could practically sit anywhere. Those were some lean years. So you can imagine what a thrill it was when FOX Sports asked me if I'd like to work the radar gun for a Red Sox-Yankees MLB Game of the Week. Walking around Fenway before the game (when there were only a handful of people in the entire ballpark), was surreal. The experience was something that I'll never forget.

Here's a portion of my Fenway caricature.
Kevin Youkilis' was kind enough to sign one of the prints for me, right on the Green Monster.

Not a bad view
 

 


 

After enjoying a once-in-a-lifetime walk around the ballpark and a seat in the dugout, it was time to settle into my OTHER seat and keep an eye on those pitches!

 

That's me working the radar gun.

 

    

The "monsta" is much bigger in person than it looks on television.

Here are some sketchbook "observations" I did for an assignment during a visit to Camden Yards when the Sox came to Baltimore the year after winning it all! Sox fans were out in full force that day.
