On this day between spring training and the regular season opener, here are some more images from the very impressive Fenway South. (Below), unlike the original Green Monster in Boston, there are seats in the middle of the wall. How cool is this to be right above the action in not so deep left field?
The image below is from atop the wall looking back toward home plate.
The building housing the indoor batting cages is decorated with logos depicting each of the Sox seven World Series championships.
Outside the ballpark on the third base side is Boston counterpart to the Yankees' Monument Park, which itself has a counterpart outside Steinbrenner Field. But this display is bolder and more substantial with sculpted numbers honoring the Red Sox legends. Look at how they pop out at you looking in the distance.
...such as Carl Yastrzemski and Ted Williams...
On the side of the number scultures, are the biographies for each of those whose numbers were retired.
Wrapping up our visit, the statue depicting Ted Williams and "Jimmy," the childhood cancer victim and symbol of the charity he was so closely associated with, the Jimmy Fund.
