Fenway facelift

Renovations are under way at Fenway. The club is doing away with the plexiglass that encases the .406 Club, because, CEO Larry Lucchino said, "the people who bought these seats preferred the open air, the electricity, the energy of Fenway Park."

What a refreshing change of pace: Wealthy people who don't want to be isolated from the great unwashed.

The .406 Club will be replaced by something called EMC, which is a horrible name for some open-air seats where the .406 Club is, and more open-air seats above that.

In all, the team plans to add 1,100 seats to Fenway.

I guess I can expect the call informing me that I can purchase season tickets any day now.

In other Sox news, the team announced Monday that Trot Nixon underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee last Friday.
