Manny's 500th!

I wish I could have been in Baltimore tonight! The great Boston sports news just keeps coming:)

Manny's 500th!

Cannot wait until next Thursday!!!! Hope Ortiz is OK.

Manny's 500th!

We%26#39;re also keeping our fingers crossed for Ortiz.

If Manny%26#39;s milestone couldn%26#39;t happen at Fenway, ';Fenway South'; (Baltimore) was a good second choice. We%26#39;d love to catch a game there some time. Have any of the Sox fans on this site done this recently? Any good tips?

Friends of ours went to Baltimore for a Sox game. They had a blast especially since the hotel they chose was where the Red Sox stay. They saw several members of the team several times throughout their stay.

It was definitely a no doubter. That ball was crushed! Also nice that whoever ended up with the ball gave it back to Manny without asking for a thing. I really don%26#39;t think I could have done that. $25,000 please? :)

And in turn Manny is going to sell the ball at auction to benefit a local children%26#39;s charity.

Guess I am the lucky one. I was there at the game Saturday night with a group.

Had no idea when I planned this trip in January it would be historic.

Can%26#39;t begin to describe the excitement when Manny hit that fate-filled ball.

I also got to meet some Sox players. They stay at the Renaissance Hotel. Which by the way, has an exquisite 5th floor bar that uses only fresh fruit juices for its cocktails. That bar and the extremely friendly bartenders was a total winner!

It was so bizarre seeing so many Red Sox fans in the city. Tons in the hotels and at all the attractions. It really was Red Sox Nation!

Is it ok to be jealous? :0)

What great luck you had!

Being here in the Belly of The Beast, it%26#39;s not always easy to watch Sox games on TV (although easier than you might expect), so I didn%26#39;t get to watch (except the highlights). Wondering what Kevin Millar had to say about it.

I have not seen any Millar comments but will keep an eye out. I am sure there are a few. He was looking tough at first these past two games.

Mahj,

Luck indeed...

I was leading a group with some handicapped and physically challenged individuals, and for them it was the first time they had ever gone to a Major League Baseball game.

Diehard Sox fans, they really wanted to go to Fenway, but there was no way I could get enough tickets so I ';settled'; for Baltimore.

No regrets now...absolutely none!!!!!!

And FWIW, I cheered for Millar when he was up.
