Red Sox to extend protective netting at Fenway Park

Over the last couple of years, it’s been fairly clear where baseball’s priorities have been. Pace of play, of course, has been a major one. Some would probably even argue that it’s been far too much of a focus for commissioner Rob Manfred, and to say the least there are fairly strong opinions on both sides of the debate. We’re not talking about that today, though. Today, we’re talking about another topic in which baseball has been trying to address in recent years and one on which people have plenty of opinions. We’re talking about fan safety, as the Red Sox are joining many others around the league in extending protective netting farther down the foul line.
