Red Sox Nation in Pittsburgh- June 2011

It doesn't happen very often although when the Red Sox play the Pirates, it's usually important like when they played in the first-ever World Series (guess who won? Yep, Sox!)

We came from all parts- Alex and Adam from Massachusetts, Jason drove down from NE with Aris and Ray, and we joined Pittsburgh-native friend Paul Nussbaum and his family for some of the national past-time. The Bucs didn't disappoint the locals in gorgeous PNC Park as they won 2 out of 3 keeping hope eternal that they will finally finish above .500, maybe even compete for the division title.

We had some male bonding at Ben and Chey's place, enjoyed lots of laughs...

and even did some yard beautification, like this new pathway in their front yard.
