Day 132: Boston (Fenway Park)

Although I'm more of a Celtics fan, being a Boston lover and a sports fan, how can I not come to the most beloved and oldest baseball park in the US?
雖然我基本上是賽爾蒂克的球迷,但作為一個愛波士頓的人又是體育迷,怎麼能不來全美國最受愛戴又歷史最悠久的棒球場呢?

This is the information about Fenway Park, when was it built and who helped building it.
這是芬威球場的資訊,何時興建與誰興建的。









Gate D, the ticket booth for Fenway Park tour.
入口D,球場巡禮的售票口。













This is where the last scene of the movie The Town was shoot.
這就是電影【竊盜城】最後一幕的拍攝地。


I finally saw the home of Boston Red Sox~~ It's off season time, and it's rainy today, so the diamond was covered by canvas.
我終於見到紅襪隊的主場了~~ 現在是非球季,而且今天下雨,所以球場被帆布蓋住。










It looks so significant~~
看起來超壯觀的~~












Visiting club's locker room.
客隊更衣室。


It was turned into a locker room from a storage room, but it's not that small although our guide said players complained that it's worse than their locker rooms in high school, haha.
這是由儲藏室改成更衣室的,但沒有那麼小阿。雖然我們的導覽人員說球員們抱怨這比高中的更衣室還差XD








The original ticket booth.
最古老的售票口。














Up on the green monster. The best baseball seats in the US. Because Red Sox wants more people to get the chance to sit here, they don't even sell green monster tickets to season pass holders.
在「綠色怪物」上。美國最棒的棒球座位。因為紅襪希望更多人能有機會坐在這,他們甚至不賣綠色怪物的票給買季票的人。


This is how it looks like if including the front row seats.
把前排座位也拍進去的話是這樣子。












This wall records the concerts that were held at Fenway Park.
這面牆紀錄了在芬威球場舉辦的演唱會們。












There's a Fenway small farm behind Fenway Park. @@
球場後方有芬威小農場。


The tallest part at the park.
球場至高點。













In the press box, the best seats that can not be bought. This is where Moneyball was shoot. 
媒體區,無法用錢買到的最佳位置。【魔球】的拍攝地。











The front row is for senior reporters, and the last row is for Yankees writers, haha.
第一排是給資深記者,而最後一排則是給洋基寫手們XD


Those three seats are for camera people.
那三個座位是給攝影師的。
Fenway Park is one of the only two parks that are still using manual score board. Many people think that's the best job in the world, but there's no air-conditioner, no heater, no running water and no restroom back there. Our guide said they finally got wi-fi few years ago.
芬威球場是唯二仍使用手動記分板的球場之一。很多人覺得那是世界最棒的工作,但後面沒有冷氣、沒有暖氣、沒有水也沒有廁所。導覽人員說他們前幾年終於有無線網路了。



During our tour, there's a hawk that seems apparently a Red Sox fan, flew to the park.
在我們的巡禮過程中,有一隻不知道什麼鷹,顯然是紅襪球迷,飛到球場內。


See the only red chair there? That marks the furthest homerun ever made in history which was hit by Ted Williams. 
看到那張紅色椅子嗎?那是最遠全壘打的記號,由Ted Williams擊出。










The only wooden seats in MLB parks now. There's not much leg room, so whenever someone wants to get out, whole row has to let him/her pass. Our guide said that's the reason why Red Sox fans got familiar with each other. Also, something interesting is that, you can bring the ticket of your grandfather here, and if the seats are available, you're good to sit there that day. People love doing this.
大聯盟目前唯一的木製座椅。腳沒有什麼伸展的空間,所以只要有人想出去,整排的人都要讓他過。我們的導覽人員說這是紅襪球迷之所以彼此熟識的原因。另外,有趣的是,你可以拿爺爺的票來,只要位子是空的,你就可以去坐。球迷超愛的~~

Take a closer look at the red seat.
近一點看那紅色的座位。


Retired numbers on the wall outside of the park.
球場外的牆上有退休背號。













Since Boston University is near by, I went to its College of Communication. However, the school is closed now, I didn't meet the chair of Department of Film & Media Production. I checked the requirement, it doesn't ask for GRE and portfolio, so as long as I retake TOEFL, get enough scores, and get my transcript from NCCU, I can give it a try.
因為波士頓大學就在附近,我去了他們的傳院。然而,學校現在是關閉的,所以我沒有遇到電影系的系主任。我查了一下要求,沒有要GRE與作品集,所以只要我重考托福,分數有到,申請政大的成績單,我就可以試試看了。

Day 9: "The answer must lie in each of us, in never giving up on trying to get what we want" - 《The Rise and Rise of Daniel Rocket》

I'll never give up on trying to get what I want.
我永遠不會放棄去試著得到我想要的。
