Dan Desrochers’ ventures to Fenway Park began in 1967 as a 12-year-old who had a passionate desire to attend a Red Sox game. Unbeknownst to his parents, he schemed and plotted his “Impossible Dream” Maine-to-Boston venture that combined bicycling, hiking, and bus and train rides to catch his first Red Sox game. He successfully completed the 200-mile trip and managed to get home before dark. He now lives in Rollinsford, New Hampshire though he still considers himself a Mainer — and he continues to organize trips to Red Sox games today without his mom’s permission. He was in St. Louis when the Red Sox won it all in 2004.
