Fenway bound
I was born and bred a Red Sox fan, coming from a third-generation Massachusetts family. As such, and as a Boston resident (and former Fenway resident), I try and make it out to at least one Sox game a year. Tonight’s the night this year, as I’ll be in the bleachers to see the Dice-K and the Sox take on the Blue Jays. A fine day for Universal Hub to bring us this excellent video, care of NESN cameraman and blogger Tom Guilmette:

As a production professional, it’s cool to get this glimpse into the great daily orchestration that is putting on a major league ballgame. The amount of detail in what is constructed at the park, from the greens to lights and sound, to the camera shoot for TV and for the jumbotron, to the coordination of almost 70 millionaire professional ballplayers, and all without ever showing a blemish in the process. Pro baseball isn’t just a great thing to behold as a spectator, from a production angle it’s a true treat to observe.
Go Sox!
