Management's Got It Covered
The Red Sox found a clever way to squeeze more fans into Fenway for the afternoon make-up of a rained-out night game.
Normally for day games, the club covers 420 center-field seats with a tarp to ensure a uniform hitting background for the batter. To allow these seats to be used for the make-up game, the club covered all the seat numbers with duct tape and gave fans sitting in those seats green T-shirts and instructions not to move around except between innings.
With Fenway virtually sold out for the season, how long before the club starts selling these special "human batter's eye" seats on a regular basis, subject to similar restrictions?
