Im goin to my first red sox game at fenway in about a week. i know about the sweet caroline thing in the 7th?

Question

inning. but i was wondering is there any more traditions i should know about?

Answer 1

Sweet Caroline isn't in The 7th, it is 8 and 1/2 innings.

  Left foul pole is Fisk's, right is Pesky's.  

The Red seat in the right field bleachers is Located 502 feat from home plate marking the location of The longest Home Run ever hit in Fenway park by Ted Williams.

Right field facade has the numbers 1,4,8,9,27,42.   Those are the retired number for Bobby Doerr, Joe Cronin, Yaz, Ted Williams, Carlton Fisk, and Jackie Robinson. Respectively.

Need to know anythign about sox History just send me an E-mail.

Answer 2

Too many traditions to list - a couple favorite things to notice: 1) The Red Seat in the Bleachers

http://www.redsoxconnection.com/redseat.... 2) Tom and Jean Yawkey's (longtime owners) initials in Morse Code on the scoreboard http://i.pbase.com/o4/95/635595/1/662965... 3) The retired numbers (1-Bobby Doerr, 4-Joe Cronin, 8-Carl Yastrzemski, 9-Ted Williams, 27-Carlton Fisk, 42-Jackie Robinson). Also, buy your peanuts outside the park - much better.

Answer 3

If its one of the yankees games, find a yankees fan and give them a good one-two. It doesn't matter if they're not being obnoxious, thats a ploy to make you think they're respectable people. If its another team, be civil and chat it up with their fans. Even if there's an opposing fan near you being a D-Bag, let it go. Odds are you can find another opposing fan that is willing to join you in making fun of said D-Bag because the majority of other fans are respectable. Even if the sox loose, be happy, because that means the other team will probably also beat the yankees.

Lesson: Yankees, bad. Everyone else, good

Answer 4

No other real traditions, but I will give you some tips:

1. Eat before/after the game somewhere else since the food prices are ridiculously high. Last time i went, it was (I think) $4 for a bottle of water, or close to that.

2. Use public transportation if possible because of parking costs and the awful traffic.

3. Don't stand when no one else is and don't bring signs or anything designed to get you on TV. Extremely annoying to people behind you.

4. Have fun and stay the whole game.
