Nothing compares to the experience of watching a game at historic Fenway Park but the chance to visit other ballparks is a treat for any baseball junkie. The Boston Red Sox only play the NL West once every three years and it’s a coin-flips odds as to whether the series will be at home or on the road. San Diego is a city I had long wanted to explore and an interleague match-up with the Padres provided the perfect opportunity.
Getting to San Diego was an adventure in itself. I planned on leaving on Thursday to give myself adequate time to adjust to the time zone difference and recover from jet lag before the series began.
