42 Observations from Anaheim

I attended one of the Red Sox-Angels games this past weekend in Anaheim, CA. Here are 42 observations I made at the game in Anaheim.

1. They have a parking lot(unlike Fenway).
2. There are two giant red helmets that mark the front of the stadium(kinda dumb looking I think).
3. There are lots of food places inside.
4. Traffic going in wasn't as bad as I expected.
5. The stadium was nowhere close to being sold out.
6. Red Sox fans were only outnumbered maybe 1.5 to 1.
7. At times it felt like a home game.
8. The female population of Angels fans are on the higher end of the beauty scale.
9. Sunscreen is a must for an April game in Anaheim.
10. Jacoby Ellsbury is much faster live than he looks on TV.
11. Jason Bay is showing that he belongs.
12. Jed Lowrie can't hit.
13. The bleachers in Fenway are a million times more aggressive than in Anaheim.
14. A guy wearing a Yankees jersey and hat.
15. Papelbon is human.
16. Mike Napoli used Boston pitchers as his personal batting practice.
17. A 'steal third base' game. Winning meant you got to keep the actual base.(A 40 second sprint down to third from left field area and then run back with the base in hand. Won today by an 8 year old boy).
18. Stupid shirt cannons.
19. They seem to have more giveaways than a Minor League game.
20. The wall distances don't seem far enough for these Major League hitters.
21. I thought it was a throwback game because of Boston's new/old away uniforms.
22. Boston has the whitest starting lineup in baseball it seems.
23. Dustin Pedroia is really short in person.
24. Our outfield is pretty solid defensively.
25. Yoooooooouuuuukkkkkk.
26. A 'Yankees Suck' chant in my bleacher section had me confused until I saw the guy in the Yankees gear.
27. Ridiculously gorgeous women were everywhere.
28. $10 personal pan size pizzas.
29. Panda Express at a baseball game.
30. Some guy tripped while running out to participate in "Take me out to the ballgame".
31. Joe Saunders pitched really well for Anaheim.
32. Brad Penny not so much.
33. Mike Lowell looks like an old man when he tries to run down to first base.
34. Papelbon had to thrown way too many pitches to get that save.
35. The Angels show that stupid Rally Monkey starting in the eighth inning when they are down.
36. Then they keep showing stupid Rally Monkey movies.
37. They shoot fireworks every time there's an Angel homerun.
38. The grass looked really nice.
39. I forgot where I parked and wandered around for 45 minutes trying to find my car.
40. There was tailgating after the game.
41. There were actually a lot of Red Sox fans.
42. Did I mention there were lots of attractive women there.
