Sunday evening I walked around Fenway Park before Game 2 and took pictures.

Mostly, I took pictures of the security. Unbelievable.

I thought the number of cops during the Democratic National Convention was noteable. That security seemed low key and relaxed compared to what was around Fenway. Lots of paramilitary looking, high-booted men with belt-loads of plastic handcuffs. I only saw a few of the basic blue city police force, and I noticed only one woman among them.

At the DNC, the city police were everywhere and relative to Fenway, the diversity of gender and race meant they were a friendly face for the city.
