[Sarah Kelly]

I think Dr. Charles Steinberg, who is part of the Red Sox organization,
captured it best at the Boston Preservation Alliance's Gala & Auction on

reminded us that "victory has a thousand fathers." Let us not forget the
folks from Save Fenway Park! who stood up for the ballpark when the tide of
public opinion was against them. Read more
