Literally. Alert New England reports the Boston Fire Department responded to 4 Yawkey Way - the Sox front office - for a second-floor fire around 11:30. The fire was quickly knocked down.

Steve Saleeba tweets:

Could be one of many fires that will have to be put out there this year.

UPDATE: The Boston Fire Department reports the cause was a short circuit near a wall-mounted light fixture. No injuries, but fire and water damage estimated at $100,000.

They could have put the fire

They could have put the fire out themselves if they still had beer around.

Another fire...

Another sox-related fire (sort of) at The Fours on Canal Street. Quick in/out by firemen though. maybe a false alarm.

When the new owners took over

My dad was quite sure they would pull a Yawkey and have an "accidental" fire to force the rebuilding of the park.

Nice photo

Other issues aside, I think that's a really well put together and technically proficient photo.

Re: Nice Photo

Thanks, Anon
