Time to rename Yawkey Way?

Joe Paterno just lost his job as an alleged enabler of a child rapist. Seems Tom Yawkey engaged in the same thing back in the early 1970s with the clubhouse manager at the Sox spring-training camp in Florida.

Oh, those wacky, fun-loving Henrys, whose joie de vivre is just so darn infectious, City Hall can't help but give them great deals on city property! Wouldn't you?

Or, as dvdoff, who spotted this example of All Henry, All The Time puts it:

A Sox fan sent in this photo of Fenway Park on Friday to the Globe. Hanging among the other retired numbers on the outside of the ballpark was good ol' #7.

Drunken behavior at Fenway lands Red Sox before licensing board

adamg — Tue, 25 Oct 2011 21:47:33 +0000

A glassy-eyed, alcohol-infused Sox fan who had to be wrestled to the ground at a game in July after knocking a woman down raised the hackles of Boston Licensing Board Chairwoman Nicole Murati Ferrer today.

"What concerns me right now is the level of intoxication of this patron," she told Fenway officials at a hearing on a police citation for having a "disorderly, intoxicated patron arrested on the premises" at a July 27 game.

Sox officials said the issue was more one of general belligerence than drunkenness - the guy just seemed to have a lot of pent up anger and had been yelling for several innings.
