62 The Monster Seats Architect Janet Marie Smith hit a grand slam with this idea. Sometime between now and whenever, you’ve got to experience the Green Monster seating. For years the Green Monster was a wall and then netting above it to catch home runs. But between the ’02 and ’03 seasons the Sox plunked […]

43 Tony C. If you were a kid who loved the Red Sox in the 1960s, you likely had one hero: Tony Conigliaro. He was the local boy from Swampscott who had played baseball at St. Mary’s of Lynn; he had so much charisma that an entire generation of baseball fans fell in love with […]
On hot mornings like this one, I start early when it’s still (relatively) cool. Last weekend, I planted the vegetable garden, and later, morning glories on the porch posts. I need to keep these well watered, at least for their first week, and more if the heat continues. I only have one faucet, which is […]
The smartest kid in Maine intended to win a Nobel Prize by the time she was 25. Life didn’t quite work out that way.
39 A Helluva Feller “Attention please, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Fenway Park.” That was public-address announcer Sherm Feller’s unforgettable salutation to Red Sox fans at Fenway for 26 years. Feller was both informative and entertaining. He was a great storyteller, having so much to share after decades as a radio performer […]
29 The Red Seat Section 42, row 37, seat 21 — the Red Seat. Patrons thinking about sitting in the bleachers at Fenway often hope that this special seat might just be theirs for the day. Sox owner Haywood Sullivan had the seat painted red in 1984 after the Red Sox remeasured Ted Williams’s famed […]

“This is a good thing.” It’s a mantra Duane Button repeats often. When asked to explain what he has accomplished on his little family farm — when words fail him — he says this. And really, what else is there to say? Duane Button readies for his day when the sun is just rising on […]
Hot summer nights make the young restless, and now that I’m older, I wonder why. I was once guilty of pumpkin smashing and a few pranks worse than that, so it’s not that I don’t understand. But when I think back to such a time, I truly can hardly believe that I did those things, […]
Those of us who live in New Hampshire saw the just-concluded primary season unfold like nowhere else. Everyone came here — candidates, eager campaign staffers, press — and we soaked it up. We didn’t catch newsbites; we had conversations. Our flesh touched their flesh. Our eyes met theirs. No wonder the state holds onto its […]
