Yawkey Way has been a very prominent part of Fenway Park since it was dedicated in 1977. Every game day the street is alive with Boston Red Sox fans excitedly making their way into the ballpark. Every time you walk down Yawkey, it’s like one large block party.
It’s also a constant reminder of a Red Sox owner that refused to follow along with the rest of the league and integrate his team. Shamefully it took 12 years after Jackie Robinson signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers for the Red Sox to break their own color barrier.
