Tales from Fenway: Behind the scenes of the ALDS

Join Jess Gagne, Bill Green and Rob Nesbitt as they follow the Red Sox during 2018 ALDS

Jess Gagne Reports from Boston, MA on October 6, 2018:

One down, two to go!

The Red Sox beat the Yankees last night 5-4. It was a nail biter, but went Boston's way in the end. As you can imagine, we celebrated the big win against Boston's biggest rival right along side thousands of other Red Sox fans.

I sometimes take for granted how close I am able to get to a team beloved by so many. That's why it was awesome and humbling to have Rob Nesbitt be a part of our coverage team this season. Friday's game was Rob's first ever game at Fenway. It was nice see the historic ballpark again through fresh eyes. We went over to the Green Monster, took pictures from the field and talked about the history behind everything we walked by.

Thank goodness we also had Bill Green with us to provide that history! He's been coming to Fenway for 58 years and knows more about the Red Sox than anyone I know. Having him there also helped us attract Mainers for interviews. A few people on Jersey Street stopped us to ask if they could snap a selfie with Bill... he is a legend! Check out some of his Fenway insights here:

Four hours until the action starts again!

Jess Gagne Reports from Portland, Maine on October 7 at 2:27 a.m.:

Just got back from Fenway after witnessing Boston's 6-2 game two loss to the Yankees and I am exhausted. Once again, David Price did not perform in the postseason, to the chagrin of the Red Sox fans in attendance.

Now the series heads to New York. The NEWS CENTER Maine team is staying here in Maine for games three and four, but if the series goes to game five, we'll be back at Fenway to bring you all the action.
