Fenway Park’s 100th season hasn’t been perfect, but the celebrations have been unforgettable.
The Red Sox on Wednesday announced the members of the All-Fenway Park Team, and many of those selected were in attendance to celebrate the occasion.
The team consists of players from all different eras in Fenway’s illustrious history, including this year’s team, with Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz getting nods. Among the other players selected to the All Fenway Park Team were the late Johnny Pesky, NESN’s Jerry Remy, former skipper Terry Francona and the dominant Pedro Martinez.
The All Fenway Park Team, which consists of 40 players and three managers, was voted on by fans, historians, front office staff and the club’s historical and archival consultants.
