This JFK was up and coming on the Boston political scene, and was tabbed by Honey Fitz to be his successor. Unfortunately that never happened.
The 35th president JFK wasn't born until 1917, so obviously this wasn't his book.
I've thought it eerie to see he went to all the games up until his death, then to see the remaining unused tickets still intact.

The smart ass in me wants to think that someone was using the dead guys' tickets from the 20th through the 29th. Unfortunately the more likely scenario is a road trip for the Sox.
