We got there for Yankee batting practice.
To get onto the monster you first pick up your tickets at the VIP window where 2 people check you out before getting to the window where they once again ask who, why, how and for ID.
Then we headed for the Monster and found out there are two more levels of security and a hand stamp that allows us onto the wall of dreams.
As we came down to our seats in the front row, on the wall, Doug Flutie was catching flies with a glove. That was our first inkling that this was more special than we thought.
What a view! and on swivel seats at your own bar.
There is also plenty of room to stand and when standing you don't block anyone's view because the next row is like 7 feet up.  That's where John Kerry and entourage were seated, directly behind us.
I told my 20 year old son, Dan, that's John Kerry and he said "you mean the first person I ever voted for President for?". Yep. So sometime in the mid innings Dan goes up with this babe he met and asks for a picture.
So, Kerry's daughter, I think asked me why I had a Shaheen sign at Fenway. I explained we won the tickets then opened it and showed the reverse to her and JK.
Then We're just sitting watching the game and John Henry, owner of the Red Sox comes down to say hello to folks sitting next to us. I thanked him for building the best seats in baseball.
So what if the Yankees won a one run game? We were there for the return of David Ortiz, perfect weather and a beautiful evening.
Thank you Jeanne Shaheen and Mr. M. who donated the tickets to the campaign.
