Great IP at Fenway 7/8 NomaH!

Managed to go to the first and last Oakland games at Fenway this week

Got to see Nomar's return to the ballpark and the standing O was incredible!

Monday I went with my brother and actually ran into my gf's sister. She managed

to meet Nomar during batting practice and got his sig on her ticket image

Last night, me and my gf had tix and our plan was to meet her favorite Red Sox player of all time!

We beat trafic and got to the park 1.5 hrs early only for batting practice to get called off!!! DOH!!! image

Nomar managed to emerge from the visitors dugout only to parade down the opposite side.....CRAP!!

Both being bummed with the game about to start and getting shunned, we proceeded to pound beers on

Yawkey way image

Long story short, I planned for us to creep around the inside of Fenway until the visiting team exited through

and tried not to get booted by security

BOOM out he came and graciously signed for the both of us. He signed the back of her shirt and a ball for me

What a great turnaround for a nite that started off in the dumps image Thanks to a great ballplayer for 2 fans!!

    My most recent trip to out to Redondo Beach (Pelican HQ) I was driving from my hotel in Redondo Beach to the factory in Torrance CA. I was sitting at a light admiring this sweet Audi that had rolled up next to me, when I looked up and noticed the lady in the passenger side looked like Mia Hamm. Well I immediately looked over at the driver and it was NOMAR, along with Mia and his twins in the backseat. I gave up a thumbs up, he rolled down the passenger window, and asked if I was an A's fan. I replied just a bseball fan, but loved watching him play SS in Boston. Class guy!

    Hey Matt, you were in my town and never said hello. I'm hurt. lol j/k How did you like it when you were out here?
    Mia and Nomar are very active in our area and I've seen them on a few occasions. I haven't seen them in Redondo, but I've seen them in Hermosa Beach and his hometown, Manhattan Beach.
