Melky Cabrera Exposes The Hazards Of Fenway

((HT: MLB.com/Sportsnet))

If a (predominantly right-handed) batter hits a ball over the Green Monster at Fenway, it can end up on Lansdowne Street, or in the parking deck that is across the street.

Example from 1999:


The Toronto Blue Jays Melky Cabrera had a 2 home run, 5 RBI night in a blowout of the Boston Red Sox. The second home run in the 14-1 win was one like the ones shown above...

The HQ has been where this home run ball landed


Just didn't have any damage done to the rental car when it was parked in the deck...
Remember- windows away from the fence when you park!

Red Sox PA Announcer dies in crash

((ht: necn.com))

Carl Beane, the public address announcer at Fenway Park for the Boston Red Sox since 2003, was killed Wednesday afternoon in a single vehicle crash in Sturbridge, Massachusetts.

According to reports, Beane was on his way home from a golf outing when he crashed, he was pronounced dead at an area hospital shortly after the 12:40pm wreck.

Beane was held in high esteem in Boston circles and had the honor of being the guy calling the games when the Red Sox won the 2007 series, ending an 86-year drought.

While he may not be known to folks outside the Boston area, its never a good thing to report an incident such as this. Most everyone is at least familiar with the Red Sox and they are on national TV pretty much every week. That alone should make at least a portion of the audience somewhat--if not indirectly familiar with the voice.
