Another cool area at Fenway to keep in mind - though not so much for autographs - is right behind the bullpen pre-game. You get to see the starting pitcher just a few feet away from you, and get a pretty good sense of being close to a 95 mph heater.
The added bonus yesterday - when David Price finished his warmup tosses, he came over and gave the ball he had been using to my 4-year old son, then headed out to the mound. My son was in his glory the rest of the day! Unfortunately I had just tucked away my camera about 15 seconds before Price came over, but did get this picture just beforehand. Oh well.....
