Open Letter To Red Sox Ownership
Dear Mr. Werner,
As a Red Sox fan of fifty years, I would like to
thank you and the present ownership group for two
World Series wins and the very competitive team
you have put on the field all the years your
group has been involved. I would also like to
express my great appreciation for the
improvements that have been made to Fenway Park.
Since your group has assumed ownership of the Red
Sox, I have had to opportunity to visit Fenway
approximately 20 times from my perch up here in
Nova Scotia. I have been impressed with the
improvements that have been made to Fenway Park
in each of those years. Now there is another
thing that I would like to see done to make the
experience of visiting Fenway even more
spectacular. That thing is the construction of a
Red Sox Hall of Fame and Museum to highlight the
glorious history of the olde town team.
A Museum to display to great moments of Sox
history along with memorabilia, video
highlights , computer interactive displays, a
Red Sox Hall of Fame, etc is begging to be
built. I have written the team over the past few
years asking about this and have been told that
the team
wants to make it happen and is looking for a
suitable site. I hope this can be resolved soon
and have the Museum open to celebrate the 100th
Anniversary of Fenway in 2012. I know that under
the previous ownerships plans for a new Fenway, a
Museum was included as well. It is time!
Just doing a little bit looking, I have found
that the Cincinnati ball club has a Museum
devoted to the Reds, as do the St. Louis
Cardinals, the Baltimore Orioles, the LA Dodgers
and even the Texas Rangers for their teams. The
New York Yankees plan to have one in their new
Yankee Stadium and Tampa Bay although not having
one for their team has the Ted Williams Museum
and Hitter’s Hall of Fame.
It is my humble opinion that such a Museum
would be an instant hit for fans and tourists
alike. I hope that the team will make this a
priority and will acquire a suitable property
adjacent to the ballpark to make this happen. If
you build it they will come, by the millions!!
Respectfully yours,
Don Hyslop
