I can't seem to get away from the theme of community when I ask myself about what it is about Fenway that comes to mind as the most salient theme. When I went there, I could certainly sense a communal aspect. This is a place where 40,000 plus people congregate at least 81 times a year and engage in a tacit understanding that they share a common belonging. It is a sort of community that seemed to transform me, if only for a little while, and brought me out of my self-seeking state of mind and into consciousness of something greater. Togetherness, belonging and community are things the excitemet of Fenway Park are deeply rooted in.
Kramer:"There are no delicatessens under communism."
Mickey: "Woah, why not?"
Kramer:"Well, because the meats are divided into a class system. You've got pastrami and corned beef in one class and salami and bologna in another. That's not right."
Mickey:"So you can't get corned beef?"
Kramer:"Well, you know, if you're in the Politburo, maybe."
