Record Crowd of 115,300 Watch Red Sox Beat Dodgers













115,300 strong watch the Red Sox and Dodgers at Los Angeles Coliseum


I know this is old news, but it more than deserves to be mentioned. On March 29th,
a record crowd showed up to watch the Boston Red Sox defeat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4 in an exhibition game.

That score is actually quite remarkable considering it was only 251 feet down the left field line. It is a stadium traditionally made for football (the USC Trojans currently play there). But what was clearly more remarkable was the fact that 115,300 paid fans came and watched. Thats twice as many people that Shea Stadium holds. This game didn't even count.

It's very refreshing to see that even though there's that steroid cloud hanging over the game (especially with Jose Canseco's book "Vindicated" pending release), people still love baseball.

I'm personally going to Met games all summer, let me know if you want to come along.

Take care all, oh and fellow bloggers, get some more posts out there!
