iPod + Red Sox

Last weekend I read an article that combined two of my favorite things – the Red Sox and the iPod. The article details how ball players use the iPod to relax and visualize their game. Some players are beginning to use the iPod video to watch their highlight reels, but most seem to feel the screen is too small to be an effective training tool.

David Ortiz, my favorite player, owns five iPods. He uses the iPod video to listen to music and watch music videos, but not to watch his game. He prefers to use a laptop to watch his highlight reel.

Another surprising detail: David Ortiz keeps his iPod in a Louis Vuitton “shoulder bag.” My Grandmother also has a Louis Vuitton “shoulder bag,” but we call it as purse. I guess when you are a giant, hulking, all-star slugger you can get away with it!

  • Fenway Pahk Turns 100!

    In honor of the Red Sox’ home opener tonight at “*Fenway Park*”:http://boston.redsox.mlb.com/bos/ballpark/index.jsp (or “Pahk” as the true locals say), it’s a fitting time to celebrate 100 years of baseball in the historic ballpark.

    On April 20, 1912, the Red Sox hosted the New York Highlanders, who would soon become the Yankees (and arch rivals) the next year. The Red Sox won the game 7-6, battling through 11 innings. (Also of note: the game and stadium fanfare was overshadowed by the recent sinking of the Titanic.) Of course, the Red Sox went on to win their first World Series that year.

    Today, Fenway Park is known for the Green Monster (the unusually high left field fence), and other eccentricities, such as “The Triangle” and the “Pesky Pole,” and is one of two “classic” ballparks still in use. (The other is Wrigley Field, Don’s favorite.)

    Tonight, they take on the Tampa Bay Rays. April is here, and baseball is back. Game on!
