Today was the Fenway home opener for the Sox. It came will all the expected pomp and circumstance of the occasion. I have to say kudos to NESN. They didn’t utter a word during the hour long spectacular leading up to the roster introductions. It was perfect. Sure, it might have been nice to know who some of the first responders/victims were when tribute was paid to the Marathon Bombing event and recent Boston fire tragedy. But it was really nice to sit in quiet and see the Sox players interact with all of them. Papi was the Sox ambassador of good will. He hugged everyone that came close to him. The players made goo-goo eyes at the infants/toddlers. It was well done.
I was fortunate enough to be home to Coco to watch it. I hope he appreciated all of it. He takes in a lot. He thinks a lot. I think seeing something well done and respectful like this display will have a positive influence on him.
