According to a report on WEEI.com, the Red Sox have abandoned their efforts to widen the bullpens at Fenway and, consequently, won't move in the right-field fences by 9 feet. The team had to jump through multiple "historical preservation" hoops (as is so typical for this part of the world) and may have just given up dealing with that crowd. Good for them. Of course, building a brand new, state-of-the-art replication of Fenway would solve that problem.
