GAME TIME TEMPERATURE: 100 DEGREES
37,168 showed-up on a day that the mercury hit 102 degrees.
As for us - we IMMMDIATELY headed for the Stadium Club and got seats along the upper rail.
I can't tell you much about the game - Gary called the final score before the first pitch as Sox winning 9-2 and we totally dismissed him. He was a lot closer than we thought he was.
During the game I went out onto the outfield concourse to see what was going on. The sun was unbearable. I saw two different triage areas being run by medical staffs that had people holding 25lbs bags of ice on there heads while sitting on chairs as the await wheelchairs to get themselves hauled out to someplace to cool down. The line for the Rain Room was the longest I have ever seen, and it was slow moving as no one wanted to leave the cold water.
New Magic Number: 53.
