One that got away- then found again

Wow. I can't believe I didn't notice that after all this time.

It sure is a snapshot.

I'd thought it was a real photo postcard, it's the right size. But yeah, there's no postcard backstamp.

Either way it's a great shot...and even better since you know what game it came from.

Agreed on ALL accounts. A really wonderful piece, Steve.

I love the fact that while looking at this picture, I can't help but think what the people in the crowd were thinking when they saw that wall in left. Afterall, '34 was the first year of the 'new' Fenway Park with those dimensions.

I'm glad I can still look at that same wall and daydream about Gem Razorblades.

When some of my friends were decrying the "desecration" of Fenway by the new owners allowing so many ads especially any on the wall itself I showed them the photo. And said I'd like to see it returned to its 1934 state, Gem sign Duffys cliff and all.

Realistically, having seen the abominations the old owners tried to get approved as replacements anything that keeps Fenway around for another few decades is fine with me.

I was on Lansdowne st last month, and the latest bit of work is pretty extensive. The scoreboard had been totally removed. I haven't checked the website to see what's planned.
The workers were busy despite it being after 10PM, and there was even security, so no chance of a souvenir.
