I’ve already posted that I’m not a huge basketball fan. I love the other professional sports: baseball, football, soccer, ice hockey, just not basketball. Oh and golf. I hate golf. Watching professional golf on tv is worse than waiting for a cake to bake, and let’s get real, we all know how much I hate to cook! But technically I should love basketball, because I played it for like, four years in junior high and high school. Wait maybe that’s why I hated it. Once I found that throwing myself into band and drama was really my passion, I was a lot happier. Yep, that’s it. I hated, absolutely hated, playing basketball. Ok Ms Hedlund let’s get back on track. Back to the Celtics.
Well, the Boston Celtics won the basketball championships in 6 games against the LA Lakers. I couldn’t stay up that late to watch the final game (although if it were hockey or baseball, I’d be up watching!) So they had the rolling rally in Boston, like they have every time one of the teams wins a championship. Only I’m used to seeing the rallies in the midst of winter (the Red Sox ones have been in November and the Patriots in January.) So to see the duck boats (a boat with wheels that can drive on land and then go into the water and float like a boat-pretty cool!) with the Celtics on them. It was also a little weird seeing all the green-the Celtics color, when we’re used to the red, white and blue of the Sox and the Patriots.
So tonight, through the rain, the Celtics are being honored before the Red Sox-St. Louis Cardinals baseball game. They came out in the duck boats and drove around the outfield of Fenway Park, before Paul Pierce will throw the starting pitch before the game. If only the rain will stop. I think I’m more bummed that the Sox game is being postponed, than I am that we won’t get to see the Celtics on the infield (because it’s wet!) Oh well. At least the Sox are wearing their green jerseys today. It’s the second time in two years that they’ve worn them. Red Sox wearing green. Pretty interesting.
