Red Sox News: Football returns to Fenway Park

Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox, is undergoing a transformation into a football venue for when the highly ranked “Fighting Irish “(Is that allowed under PC?) of Notre Dame come to Boston to be upset by the Eagles of Boston College. Yes….I happen to be a BC graduate.

Football is nothing new at Fenway Park. I attended a game in 1963 when the then Boston Patriots played the Buffalo Bills. I do remember a rather sparse crowd, a misty and cold evening and Cookie Gilchrist of the Bills running wild. The Patriots did have a tendency to move as they attempted to find a permanent residence.
