Fenway Park is one of my favorite places. Was at a client on Comm Avenue in Boston Wednesday. Being so close to Fenway decided to take a walk over there and took a couple of pictures. One of Ted Williams and Child and the Teammates. Here is a little history of the two statues.
An 8-foot, 6-inch-tall statue of Williams mounted on a four-foot granite base was unveiled outside Gate B of Fenway, located behind the right-field line. The structure, which weighs 3,380 pounds, depicts Williams holding a bat over his left shoulder while he places his cap on the bald head of a cancer-stricken child. Ted Williams hit .406 and the last Major Leaguer to do so. Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, Bobby Doerr and Dom DiMaggio are the four team mates. These statues are located outside Gate B at the intersection of Ipswich and Van Ness Street.
Supposedly this truck which is parked outside Fenway today will pump a thousand gallons of coolant a minute into Fenway to ice down the skating rink for the game. Dustin Pedroia’s normal position at second base will have a blue line through it instead. New Boston pitcher (news at 4:00PM) John Lackey’s spot on the mound is instead a penalty box. I bet it would have been cheaper to get Cape Pond Ice or AmeriCold to ice that rink down.
