History Watch: Today marked probably the first times any of us had spent a majority of the night in a rest area. Knowing we had to go from a twilight game in Boston to an afternoon game in Toronto made things difficult. It wasn't worth the money to get a hotel room anywhere, so we drove through the night and hit the outside of Buffalo, N.Y., by about 3:30 a.m. We caught a few hours of shut-eye jammed into the car before making the final jaunt to Maple Leaf Land.
Food Myth Dispelled: We were anxious to visit Fenway Park for a number of reasons, but one of them was to taste these famous 'Fenway Franks' we had heard so much about. Apparently, everyone loves Boston's hot dogs.
They're crazy. The franks were the worst ball park hot dogs any of us ever had. I've cooked off-brand hot dogs in my microwave that tasted better than these. Stadium dogs have a distinctive taste and texture to them, but the Fenway Franks lacked all of it. Terrible.
