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 […]

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 […]
From the opening licks of Emilia Dahlin’s “God Machine,” it’s clear that she’s something special. In a region flooded with singer/songwriters, she stands out with clever storytelling, crisp melodies, and an undeniable passion. She excels at sending her listeners on journeys, and she can bend her acoustic guitar to meet the genre that fits the […]
