The experience of covering a baseball game at Fenway Park

It’s hard not to be excited about an opportunity like this.

BOSTON — Whenever I cover an event on location for this site, I try to keep that fact on the down low except for a single shot of my view. But with the opportunity to cover Notre Dame’s game against Boston College at Fenway Park, I simply can’t help but flex that a bit.

I took the main photo for this post myself, so you have an idea of what it looks like from my vantage point as I write this. Also, when your pass grants you field access to a historic venue like this, you take full advantage as I did:

That’s enough bragging though. I have a game to cover. Time to see if the Irish can close the regular season on a high note.
