Two years after the Boston Red Sox played a key role in helping their city recover, refocus and remain united following the Boston Marathon bombing, Fenway Park was again the site for a powerful moment of reflection and unification on Wednesday afternoon.
At exactly 2:49 p.m. ET, two years to the moment that the attacks took place near the Boston Marathon finish line on Boylston Street, the Red Sox interrupted their series finale against the Washington Nationals to observe a city-wide moment of silence held in remembrance of those killed or wounded in the attack.
