GBH Openvault
Rear Bumper II: Jean Shepherd at Fenway Park
It's Fenway Park's centennial year and GBH throws out the first pitch this month with Fenway Park at 100 (Tues, 3/27 on GBH 2). Open Vault has its own, more bittersweet song of praise for Boston's great ballpark—from a diehard Chicago White Sox fan. Originally Published March 2012.
