I think our friends at The Red Seat have summed it up perfectly;

“From the outside it looks like a warehouse. Then you go inside and come up the ramp and BAM! it hits you square in the face. The wall, the light, the green – it’s like no other ballpark.”

So here’s your chance to live up to the words on the front of their “Welcome to Fenway” t-shirt (“You never forget your first time”) and win one while your at it.

Just call into the the Fireside Chats hotline at 641-715-3900 (extension 57843) and leave us your first reaction to Fenway Park. Heck, we’ll even open it up to your best experience in Fenway Park.

The best story will be played on the air during next weeks show and the caller will win a “Welcome to Fenway” shirt and be eligible to win The Red Seats’ 2009 release. All our moles can dig up is that it features a certain AL MVP.

You have until Tuesday afternoon to place your calls.

It took me some time to come around to believing this. Like many people, I saw that Wakefield could be hit…very, very hard on any given day. So I never fully appreciated Wake’s ability. It was obvious that he wasn’t an ace, for ace pitchers don’t get rocked that often. But with my growing understanding of statistics, came my growing appreciation for Tim Wakefield.

So “effective” I thought summed up Wakefield well. Six straight seasons of “league-average” ERA+’s led me to use that word.
