Boston Red Sox fans at Fenway Park are seemingly walking past Bud Light vendors to purchase their stadium refreshments at other concession stands as the Dylan Mulvaney controversy continues to saddle the beer maker. A TikTok video posted Wednesday shows fans waiting in line while the adjacent stand that appears to be selling the blue Bud Light cans is deserted.

Put another notch in Major League Baseball’s woke belt. Particularly the Boston Red Sox, who turned a ceremonial first pitch into an indoctrination of critical race theory (CRT). On Monday night, the Bosox invited Ibram X. Kendi to throw out the first pitch – usually an innocuous event. But he’s been throwing deceitful pitches at public education for some time now. Honoring him at a game is as good as promoting what he's specifically known for. Kendi is a radical Boston University professor, a peddler of critical race theory, a contributor to a book followup to the farcical 1619 Project...

Boston's Fenway Park, home of the Red Sox and one of the oldest baseball parks in the country, will become the first carbon neutral Major League Baseball facility, the team said on Wednesday. The Red Sox, in partnership with climate finance company Aspiration, will use a portion of ticket proceeds to purchase carbon offsets. Fans will not pay a surcharge, the team said.

Boston Mayor Marty Walsh is willing to reopen Fenway Park and TD Garden for Red Sox, Celtics, and Bruins games this summer. That willingness, though, rests upon non-negotiable conditions: no fans in the stands, and the City of Boston must sign off on advanced health and safety protocols that protect not only the athletes but everyone else reporting to the workplace. “Yes, as long as the players and the teams and the support staff and all the people that are associated with it are safe and feel comfortable,” said Walsh during a Friday morning telephone interview. “Obviously, their health is...

Stupidity is as American as baseball. This summer the World Series of Stupid has taken place at Fenway Park. Wednesday night a dim-witted band of social justice warriors unfurled a banner on the left field wall which read, “Racism is as American as baseball.” It took five of them to come up with that sad and mangled attempt at profundity. Many in the park wondered whether the sentiment was pro- or anti-racism. When CSNNE reporter Evan Drellich caught up with them, they expounded in an equally flaccid manner, saying, “We want to remind everyone that just as baseball is fundamental...

The Boston Red Sox have had enough of the racial slurs being thrown around Fenway Park and are beginning to take action. According to a team press release on Wednesday, a fan has been permanently banned from Fenway Park after being caught directing a racial slur toward another person during Tuesday night’s game. The Boston Globe reported the incident happened immediately following the national anthem, which has been performed by a Kenyan woman. The report states a Red Sox fan wearing a team hat and T-shirt uttered a racial slur to describe the woman’s rendition of the anthem.

A fan whose head was bloodied by a broken bat that flew into the stands at Fenway Park was in the hospital with life-threatening injuries, police said. The game between the Oakland Athletics and Boston Red Sox was halted in the middle of the second inning Friday as emergency crews tended to the woman and wheeled her off the field on a stretcher. Oakland's Brett Lawrie broke his bat on a groundout to second base for the second out of the inning and part of it hurtled into the stands. Boston police spokesman David Estrada confirmed the woman was seriously...

Boston police are preparing for the possibility that President Obama will make a visit to Fenway Park tomorrow night, sometime during Game 6 of the World Series. The White House schedule has not listed an appearance at Fenway during Obama’s planned visit to Faneuil Hall tomorrow afternoon. But a law enforcement source tells the Herald that Boston police are not ruling it out and they are including it in their contingency planning. City officials announced preliminary security plans for the home game at a press conference today. They are asking fans with tickets to take the T if possible. For...

Where’s Wally? The costume of the Red Sox mascot, Wally the Green Monster, has been stolen from Fenway, Boston police said this afternoon. Police said they believe the thief was wearing the costume. At about 2:22 p.m., a security officer at Fenway reported the theft. The thief was last seen at Boylston and Dartmouth streets. Wally was seen around 1:30 p.m. walking in Copley Square during the summer arts festival. It’s unclear how many Wally costumes there are.

Massachusetts Senator John Kerry on Monday pinned the Purple Heart on Private First Class Sean Bannon in a pregame ceremony at the mound as Curt Schilling stood beside them. Bannon, 22, of Winthrop, Massachusetts, was critically wounded by an IED in Iraq. He has spent the last month at Walter Reed Military Hospital in Washington, D.C. Bannon requested that Kerry, a fellow Purple Heart recipient, do the honors of presenting him with the medal and asked that the Senator ask the Red Sox if he would be able to receive the award at home plate. The Red Sox organization was...

WASHINGTON -- Presidential candidate Chris Dodd dropped a fundraising pitch aimed straight at the heart of Red Sox Nation after Major League Baseball cried foul. It seems the Dodd campaign erred when it offered contributors a chance to win seats for Game 6 of the American League Championship Series. All postseason tickets are apparently the property of Major League Baseball and the league does not allow such promotions. The Dodd campaign sent e-mails Friday to people who ponied up $20.04 or more to score a seat at Fenway Park, explaining that the contest was over and they could seek a...

A carpenter “trying to impress” his 7-year-old son by treating him to a Red Sox game he would never forget was instead busted in front of the boy by police and Fenway Park security when he stormed the field Sunday in the top of the ninth. The Sox were trailing the Baltimore Orioles 5-0. But had Michael Baggott, 37, of East Haven, Conn., just sat tight, he’d have gotten his wish: the Sox staged a memorable comeback right after his stunt, rallying in the bottom of the ninth to clip the Birds, 6-5. Baggott, who was off base in the...

Just like when he was in Boston as a player, Pedro Martinez played to the crowd in a more than 22-minute pre-game session with the press before tonight's Sox-Mets game. He opened the press conference by looking at the gaggle of media members and saying, "Oh, wow! Did I get traded?" As close as Pedro came to taking a shot at the Red Sox was when he said he wished that principal owner John Henry and CEO Larry Lucchino were sitting beside him, so he could tell them that he was right. "I wish [Henry] was here right now, so...

BROCKTON -- Pete Damon will go to the Fenway Park mound this afternoon to throw out the first ball before the Red Sox-Orioles game with his wife at his side. Jenn Damon will tote a backpack stuffed with the necessities: a screwdriver, a piece of Kevlar string, a cable, and a spare arm. ''The thing has a tendency to break at the worst possible time," Damon said yesterday, after throwing Wiffle-ball batting practice to his 7-year-old daughter, Allura, in the family's backyard. ''The string's going to break. I know it is." The 32-year-old, in his parlance, is ''a lefty, but...
