Every Boston Red Sox fan knows what the red seat signifies.
It’s one of the tenets of Fenway Park lore, right up there with Carlton Fisk’s walk-off home run in the 1975 World Series.
The one red seat amid a sea of green ones in Fenway’s outfield grandstand is said to mark the longest homer ever hit at the ballpark: a 502-foot shot off the bat of the greatest Red Sox player there ever was, Ted Williams.
That’s how the story goes, at least. The pre-eminent power hitter on Boston’s current roster, however, isn’t buying it.
