Jon Crispin's Notebook

Every year around this time, Peter and I drive into Boston.  Our first stop is Fenway.  We park on Yawkey Way (there is always a spot) and walk around the perimeter of the park.  It is always a bit odd to be there in the off season, especially with lots of snow on the ground from the storm earlier this week.  We start by heading East on Yawkey and then around to Lansdowne.  This year we spotted the entrance to the Bleacher Bar, which is actually inside the building, just under the center field bleachers.  It is a really nice smallish pub that was mostly empty.  A nice time for an early Guinness for me and a lime and soda for Peter.  It was a great day to be together.
