The 1912 Gonfalon |
It's not just the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park—it's also the centennial of the first Red Sox World Championship
in Fenway Park. You haven't heard too much about this historic event since there isn't much marketing value in it. Nevertheless, there will be
some value in the anniversary for New Jersey-based Red Sox fan Robert Fraser. The real estate broker owns the 1912 series trophy and will
auction it off at Camden Yards on August 2nd. Word is it will fetch $300,000—not a bad haul over the $74,000 Fraser paid for it. Can we pry the attention of the NOG away from tonight's Liverpool-Roma match long enough to suggest—ever so delicately—that they fork over the three hundred gees and put the trophy where it belongs?
