Yawkey Way — a Boston street name that recently has been the subject of much debate — won’t be getting renamed any time soon if John Harrington has his way.
The former Red Sox president told the Boston Herald Wednesday night that he’s escalating his plea to the city and team ownership that the road outside Fenway Park maintain its long-established name. Harrington, who wrote a letter defending the organization’s controversial history, said that he’s received an overwhelming amount of support in response to his arguments.
“I was worried people might not read it, but I’ve received tons of feedback,” he told the Herald‘s Joe Dwinell.
