I was there and I started crying like a baby when they unveiled the outfield wall and set off the fireworks.

Can't honor Jackson because he's banned from baseball.

 

That's bulls***.

I saw him do that-- but holy hell I didn't know that was enough to get you ejected from a ball game these days!

The umps sucked today. Really sucked.

 

Anybody see the guy in the lower level who got NAILED in the head by a foul ball? It hit him so hard the ball ricocheted back onto the field. I think that's the hardest I've ever seen anyone get hit. Hope he's okay.

 

that happened like 40 ft from me....that was the hardest shot I've ever seen anyone get hit with. You knew right away it was not good. He walked out with some help from the staff with a bandage on his forehead. Here's hoping he's ok...I would say a CAT scan was on the agenda after he left the park.

Had a great time today. Sat in section 530. Although I forgot how baseball stupid most people are that go to games. Apparently, according to the dude sitting behind me, it's rude to boo former players and coaches. Especially players because, "all they did was get traded." Also this guy sitting in front of me kept yelling "Andruw Jones sucks" in the 8th after Lillibridge got thrown out stealing. This older woman and him got into a great argument. I'm still not sure as to why he hated Andruw Jones so damn much.

I was in 506 in the last friggin' row and even I saw how bad that was.

Got there at 1130 and no bobbleheads. Ridiculous.

 

Me too. The lady sitting next to me told me she barely got one and she got there at like 10:30

Swisher earned a lot more points with me by giving that guy a giant ice pack.

Yeah I can't say my eyes weren't misting throughout the ceremony. So glad I went. And great to hear the fan reaction to Fisk and Dye as well. Dye seemed genuinely moved.

I had to work yesterday and I missed it. I just watched the video. I couldn't help feeling emotional for Big Frank. My two favorite players of all time, Fisk and Thomas, next to each other on the field and on the wall. Wow. I try to put in perspective because it is just baseball and there are a lot of important things in life, but that ceremony for Frank was an awesome moment that I'm glad I got to see. Wish I could have been there to cheer until I lost my voice.

I got there SUPER early and got one. My brother's friend got there at like 11:45 and said that he got one. I guess it just depends on what gate you go in.

So glad I spent the extra $$$ and went to the game. When they showed Frank tear up at the WS parade, you know he was gonna get emotional again. Just an awesome ceremony for my favorite player who I grew up watching. And the best player in Sox history of course.

 

Those bobbleheads are going for over $50 on eBay right now, might have to sell the one the wife snagged. Gotta keep one of them though.

Yeah I threw my wife's on there and it's at $81 right now.

There's a couple of nuts that put them on there for 400 and 500 bucks

I'll give it a few weeks to settle down and there will be a few on there for like 20.

Yeah, I must get one too to go with my Estaban Loaiza one (hehe), but I'm not crazy enough to spend more then 20-30 bucks.

Yeah good luck with that.

 

I learned how to properly eBay Sox giveaways in 2006. Every little WS trinket given away would sell for a ton of money during the 1st 24 hours. Place the item on there the same day/night of the giveaway, offer free shipping, and make it a one day auction and you'll earn the most that you can for that item.

 

I did 3 day and 5 day auctions at first in 2006 and didn't get nearly as much as the ones that expired within 24 hours so I applied that same formula for the bobblehead yesterday.

Yeah I threw my wife's on there and it's at $81 right now.

Are you the one with the writeup with the wife story? I bid on that last night at $35, but no dice.

You were supposed to post that after my auction expired.

Just barely missed the Bobble Head, kind of annoyed that so many Yankee fans got them.

Doubt it.

 

It'll stay around $35-40 for awhile.

I was more annoyed with the amount of douche Yankee fans that didn't stand up during the ceremony. You stay classy New Yawkers. I'm pretty sure I'd stand up and cheer for the guy if it were Bernie Williams or Paul O'Neill day.

Or the ones that booed Carlton Fisk.
