PhotoHunt: Symbolic

Section 42, row 37, seat 21 of Fenway Park.

This seat in right field was painted red to commemorate famed Red Sox Ted Williams' historic home run. It was 1946 and his homerun the longest homer in the history of the park. At the time, this gargantuan blast landed in actual bleacher seats and not as the seats we know housed at Fenway.

In any event it symbolizes just one little jigsaw piece of the Red Sox history.

Hi M, that's so cool. Great photo and an awesome take on the theme. Best of luck to your Red Sox this season.

I watched the news about Hurricane Irene threatening several states on the East coast. Keep safe...
