This remains your safe haven from steroid talk

Burnt out on steroid talk? Looking for a safe harbor, free from congressional hearing jabbering? You've come to the right place because I'm still not going to talk about it. I'd rather talk about something positive, like me spending some quality time with the Red Sox World Series Trophy. The Trophy Tour came to my town today so I went down to the school gym to bask in it's presence. I got there around 8 o'clock and the line was just about out the door of the school, but it was moving pretty quick. They had some Sox representatives there to herd people along and help take pictures. The nice thing was that the Trophy was setup in the middle of the gym and the line snaked around it, so you could get a nice view of it while you waited your turn for a picture with it. There were lots of people there with their kids. I kind of wished I had taken my 2 kids once I had gotten there, but they were more interested in playing at home so what are ya gonna do. "The Wiggles" were on TV so, cant miss that ya know!! ;-) Finally my turn came and I stood behind the trophy and got my picture taken with it. They had a nice Red Sox backdrop setup for getting your picture with the Trophy so it was pretty cool. I wish I could have stood there for a min or so and examined it a little more but they needed to get people moving... Even from the brief time that I spent in The Trophy's presence, I can tell you it's really nice close up. Its not that tall, but it's really cool the way the flags wrap around and it's got a nice golden color. In case you're wondering, no I did not touch it. I was just kinda staring at it like a goof. It was a lot of fun to visit with it, even if it was a breif visit. I'm glad I did not miss it.

  • Glad you got the spportunity to see it!


    I'd probably react the same way if I ever got to see the Stanley Cup in person. I don't think that I would touch it. I would just stand there with a goofy look on my face just staring at it in complete awe. ;)

  • Would they actually allow people to touch it? I'm surprised there wasn't a guard there ready to chop off a limb if you so much as extended a finger towards it...;)
    That rocks, though.
    Thank you for the safe haven!

  • I don't think they really were 'allowing' people to touch it but when you're getting your pic taken with it you're just stand there behind it by yourself. The thing is right there in front of you. I'm sure if I had thought of it I could have poked at it with my finger to see what it felt like but then I probably would have gotten in trouble... ;-)
