Fenway bids farewell to a favorite

Fenway bids farewell to a favorite

As most people know, Boston is a dedicated sports town. Its fans are emotional, competitive, and sometimes crazy – and last weekend, they proved all three. This past Sunday, I went to the Boston Red Sox game to watch them battle the Atlanta Braves, and although no one knew at the time, I also watched beloved third baseman, Kevin Youkilis, play his last game as a member of the Red Sox.

It was touching to see the standing ovation he received during his first at bat, and the subsequent standing ovations he received when he got on base and caught a line drive. Fans after the game (and trade announcement) expressed deep gratitude for the time Youkilis spent on the Red Sox and sadness over his depart. Even as a Boston transplant, it was a great moment to be a part of.

If only Obama had practiced his comedic timing (as a copywriting and public relations firm, we *especially* appreciate timing) before his speech on Monday at Symphony Hall. Bostonians aren’t afraid to boo, even if you’re the POTUS. Although, I prefer to think they we’re giving one final ‘YOOUUKKKK’.
