Boston Red Sox fans on their way to a game at Fenway Park will soon be strolling down a street with a new name. Or an old one that has become new again.
Boston’s Public Improvement Commission voted unanimously to change the name of the street running adjacent to Fenway Park from Yawkey Way to its original name, Jersey Street.

Red Sox principal owner John Henry spearheaded the effort for change by filing a petition in February to rename the street.
