THE BOOK--Playing The Percentages In Baseball

Tom - Are you going?

I wish.

From my place I can see Fenway pretty well (I live in a high-rise on the Cambridge side of the river).  I had forgotten this game was going on.

Out of nowhere, I hear a low rumble getting louder.  I look out the window and see a plane (it looked like a B-2) flying as low as I’ve ever seen a plane.  It looked like I could reach out and touch it.  I followed its flight right over Fenway and then I saw fireworks go off.

I had no idea what was going on until I turned on the TV and saw the hockey game.  I’m not much of a hockey fan, but I did enjoy the period that I watched.  I think it’s great when a sporting even makes a spectacle out of a special event to get casual or even non-fans interested.
