Ayla's Big Day

Ayla Throws Out the First Pitch at Fenway Park



Ayla, the capuchin monkey from Helping Hands that accompanied David Sedaris at Symphony Hall back in May (and looked for bugs in my hair), keeps getting bigger gigs (meaning literally bigger, it doesn't get much bigger than a Celebrity Series date, does it?). Last Wednesday, she threw out the first pitch for the Red Sox/Tigers game at Fenway Park, charming the Fenway Faithful in the process. The BBC's children's web site is even running a caption contest around the Associated Press photo at the top of this post.

Clearly, Ayla's celebrity status is beginning to accelerate. I just hope she remembers who her real friends are...
