Description
Bronze tribute to Ted Williams outside Boston Fenway Park. The statue of this larger than life figure inside Fenway Park is located outside of Gate B at Fenway Park on Van Ness Street.
An 8-foot, 6-inch-tall statue of Williams mounted on a four-foot granite base is located outside Gate B of Fenway, behind the right-field line. The bronze statue shows Ted Williams holding a bat over his left shoulder while he places his cap on the bald head of a cancer-stricken child. Williams made a tradition of visiting children at the Jimmy Fund Clinic of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The idea of a statue after Williams' death on July 5, 2002 was proposed by the Boston mayor Thomas M. Menino.
