So, Alex Rodriguez returns to Fenway Park to face the Red Sox for what will most likely be the last time tonight.
It is hard not to think back to 2004 and that time when A-Rod slapped the ball out of Bronson Arroyo’s glove… like a four year-old who didn’t want to share a toy…during Game 6 of the ALCS. You may recall that the Red Sox went on to win that game…as well as Game 7, to go on to the World Series. Which, of course, we also won. Chills.
I photographed almost every home game during the 2004 season and that little episode only fueled the fans desire to win that much more as the team returned home. Which, I didn’t think was even possible.
Good Morning Gloucester 
Remember it well

2004 ALCS was epic. From Roberts stealing second to the A-Rod swat. The purse is good. Big Hamburger Helper mittens is also a classic.

Good times!! Does Joey still have the picture of Veritek getting up into A-Rod’s face posted in the office? Been too long since I’ve been up there…
