SO CLOSE to Shohei Ohtani that I could TOUCH HIM! (Fenway Park bullpen)

Yes, it really was THAT easy, but here's a pro tip: if you want to get close to the visiting teams' pitchers at Fenway, don't hang out in the walkway behind the bullpen because the ushers will make you move. Instead you should claim a spot in the actual seats along the side fence, and you'll be in the perfect spot to watch these guys up close.
Mike Trout, unfortunately, did not play in this game, but it hardly mattered for the Los Angels Angels. They dominated the Boston Red Sox thanks in large part to Shohei who had a brilliant pitching performance (seven innings, no runs, 11 strikeouts).
Special thanks to my No. 1 fan, Aidan Fink (@aidanfinkofficial on Instagram), for filming me before the game near the bullpen. The rest of this video was filmed by "Fenway Chris" (@yonnernyc), and the editing was done by . . . ME! And FYI, this game took place on May 5, 2022.
Do you like the shirt that Aidan was wearing? If so, pick one up for yourself here:

Crazy you got so close to him! That footage in the bullpen where it's as if you were right behind him as he was pitching was amazing! The perspective from behind the dugout made this an even cooler video.

Great video man that was awesome how close you got to Ohtahni....Seats were amazing! As said before I wish MLB would make that netting retractable, I understand the concept but hard to make memories before the game with the netting there. Great stuff as always Zack - Supercool you got to meet Chris Berman!

If the angels don't collapse and don't have too many injuries, they are a world series contender for sure. They are just on fire.
