Uh oh, da mayah got hurt:
Herald:
Mayor Thomas M. Menino hyperextended his knee when he stumbled climbing stairs at Fenway Park this morning, nearly falling while carrying the World Series trophy.
Dot Joyce, the mayor’s spokeswoman, said the mayor went directly to see his own doctor after the injury at Fenway Park. The injury required the doctor to place a brace on the mayor’s knee, Joyce told the Herald.
“He went to get it looked at. He’s OK, but he saved the World Series trophy,” Joyce said.
After being seen, Menino was taken to the Ritz New Millennium hotel at the corner of Tremont and Avery streets to watch the Red Sox parade.
Gov. Deval Patrick is joining the mayor at the hotel to watch the end of today’s rolling rally. The route is packed up to 10-lines deep as Sox players, led by ace closer Jonathan Papelbon doing an Irish jig to the music of the Dropkick Murphys, roll by in Duck Boats and a flatbed truck.
I’ll have to take note of the area next time we’re up in Boston. I have to confess that the only part of Boston I’m really familiar with is the area around Fenway. I actually know NYC far better than Boston... (don’t like that team in da Bronx though).
