Rays @ Red Sox, 4/15

I woke up incredibly early and arrived at the ballpark around 7:00.  I was surprised to see a few collectors already waiting when I arrived, as the previous two years I've been the only one there.  I was only able to stay for about 45 minutes, but I was lucky enough to get the day's starting pitcher before I had to leave.

After leaving the Fenway area early Monday morning for work, I could have never imagined the events that would unfold over the following five days.  It's been a long week, but I'm grateful that I had to work that day, and I'm also grateful that my wife left the Copley area about an hour before everything happened.
