I'm helplessly and permanently a Red Sox fan. It was like first love. . . You never forget. It's special. It's the first time I saw a ballpark. I'd thought nothing would ever replace cricket. Wow! Fenway Park at 7 o'clock in the evening. Oh, just, magic beyond magic: never got over that
This new baseball is like a golf ball. I think there are going to be a lot more dents put in the wall at Fenway Park this year.
When we lose Fenway, we lose the sense that somebody sat here and watched Ted Williams hit.
This is the place to be. Baseball town. The intimacy of Fenway, the toughness of it. I like that. I'm used to it. I need it. If I went somewhere else, it might have been a bit of a letdown. I like the edge.
Fenway is the essence of baseball
I came to love Fenway. It was a place that rejuvenated me after a road trip; the fans right on top of you, the nutty angles. And the Wall. That was my baby, the left-field wall, the Green Monster.
