500th Consecutive Sellout?
(John Tlumacki / Boston Globe File Photo)
Sort Of... But Not Really
It's a Sellout Only If You Don't Count the Nightly Luxury Box No-Shows,
Empty Seats and Standing Room Areas, and the Dozens of Scalpers
Holding Fistfuls of Tickets Long After the Fifth Inning
"This record is the fans� record, and we want to salute the members of Red Sox Nation for reaching this extraordinary milestone. It�s a testament to the passion and dedication they have for the game, for the team, and for the ballpark. Every day, we work hard to ensure that we are worthy of their loyal support." -- John W. Henry, Red Sox owner
