Fenway Park Pictures: Braves In Boston

A little trivia for you.  Did you know that the Atlanta Braves not only were originally from Boston, but they were originally called the Boston Red Stockings and are one of the two remaining original National League Teams, the other team being the Chicago Cubs.  The original Boston Red Stockings team and its successors can lay claim to being the oldest continuously playing team in American professional sports.  It was in 1907 when the now known Braves gave up the name “Red Stockings,” which was then quickly picked up by the American League Boston Red Sox.  So take that Red Sox fans and your tradition! 

This game happened to be current Atlanta Braves pitcher Derek Lowe’s first return to Fenway Park since leading the Red Sox to a World Series title back in 2004, the teams first title in 86 years. Unfortunately the game didn’t come out the best for the Braves. Josh Beckett threw a complete game shutout ending in a 3-0 victory for the Sox.

So anyway…fun time at the park and here are some pictures.
