Boston vs. Minnesota

City of Palms Park in Fort Myers is a beautiful ballpark. Lots of shaded seating and relaxed atmosphere. My friends arrived in time for the game against the Twins, and it was a good one. Of course, it was very crowded and we had to stand, but we didn't care.

During the game, my friend caught a foul ball and was an instant celebrity. It flew up and hit the back wall above the highest seats, then came back down to where we were. My friend reached up and snagged it from behind with one hand. The crowd went wild. For the rest of the game, people would come up and congratulate him on the catch. Kids were coming up to see the ball. It was a blast.

During the sixth inning, we were able to sit. This time, it was in the second row behind the Red Sox dugout, right across from the batters box. Another great game.
