| Making a very quick stop at the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame while on my tour of Fenway Park in Boston. There were at least 50 people on the tour making photo op's tough. Included in the photo are plaques of Babe Ruth (who started as a pitcher for the Sox before being sold to New York), Carl Yastrzemski, & Ted Williams. |
