Why Is This Seat Red At Fenway Park?

I stepped away from the Fenway Card show to take in some of the ballpark's history, including a visit to this special red seat in a sea of green.

The beginning of this video made it sound like it was a jeopardy clue

He didn't decide to keep the ball... He was sleeping with a straw hat covering his face when the ball was hit, it busted through his hat hitting him in the head and the ball was never recovered. Redsox are still trying to recover the ball. Someone grabbed it and never said anything

I love that in fallout 4. They have the red seat in diamond city

I was in the stands (somewhat up behind 1st base dugout) at Fenway with my dad on the day Ted Williams retired (Sept 1960).

Being the ever sportsman that he was in the off season, Ted was presented (at an infield ceremony) with very high end fly fishing rods and shotguns (and probably a $100k a year 20 year SEARS sponsorship).

This was also the day his replacement Carl Yazstremski took over Left Field.

Personally seen this seat back in 2007, my senior year, and it was memorizing for a small town Texan. Still neat bit of history that I treasure.

“Sir, the game ended an hour ago. Please leave.”
“Can I film this TikTok first?”

Big Papi said only a hurricane could carry a ball that far!! Go Sox.

David Ortiz said that he always tried to hit one farther in batting practice but was never able to.

My dad and I took a tour and the tour guide gave us the full story so I’m glad you can get this out

"painting this seat red"
*is just an entirely different kind of seat*

[kenarthur]

Now that's very cool. Man Ted Williams was a legend

[TomAnderson.]

“By painting this seat red” uuuh all I see is they just kept the seat instead.

I saw that at a tour of Fenway "good thing I wasn't standing up" get me every time
