Official "Fenway Friday" Thread

[drunkpirate66]

Ten years ago Jimmy Buffett broke the Curse of the Bambino at Fenway Park. I was in the front row of this concert and have autographed and dated Jimmy's sandal. This show represents many things to me but mostly when I think back on it I realize that this is when I was at the pinnacle of my "Parrot Headed - ness" and the pinnacle of my love for the Boston Red Sox and my need for them to win a World Series. What a summer that was!!!! And what a weekend at Fenway.

Other than the Great - Great Woods Hurricane Show of 2008 (and a little Key West to Tampa excursion a few years back) this is still my favorite show by Jimmy - and I have been to about 80 at this point.

Can't believe it has been 10 years. Holy sh*t!

Fins are still up!

so basically the last 10 years you've been on a downhill after hitting the pinnacle 10 years ago

Its the sad truth, my friend. 2004 killed my love for Boston sports. I will never follow, think about, watch, debate, worry about, lose sleep over, read about, call people on the phone just to talk about any team more than I did the 2004 Red Sox. 2003 - 2004 seasons of MLB were quite literally the pinnacle of all things "love" for any sports team. As far as Jimmy - well, Fenway was special to me for many reasons. Everything was perfect that weekend. That summer, really. Jimmy is fun every year. But some shows are just special. I have the sandal from the show where Jimmy broke the curse of the bambino. That to me defines "pinnacle." But it aint over yet!!!! Jimmy might still surprise me yet.
