    I stayed at a Fairfield Inn by Marriott in Dedham about a five-minute walk from the Franklin Line South Station.

    The MBTA trip to Fenway Park requires a transfer at the Back Bay Station.

    An obvious one is a Days Inn or Holiday Inn Express at the terminus of the Riverside Line of the T. I don't know which motel it is since I don't drive by there much anymore.

    In any case, the subway "T" station is directly behind the motel so you can walk.

    The Riverside Line will take you right into the Fenway stop and Kenmore Square. Take your pick.

Because an ace in run-prevention for 120 innings means more often than not, a sub-standard pitcher covering for the rest of the IP that pitcher fails to provide. You can't see value in a vacuum when a player does not provide full-time production."

    Some of the RF grandstand seats don't face the infield, they face the outfield so you spend a lot of the game with your head turned. Just not very comfortable. My least favorite part of the ballpark.

    I know they fixed some of the seats, but I still believe there are some that haven't been corrected.

    This is the link to the Hotel on Grove St. in Newton. It is a simple walk of about 150 yards to the MBTA Riverside Line where you get on a train and ride non-stop into Fenway. It does not get much easier than this.
    There is also a Hotel on Beacon St. in Brookline where you can get on the MBTA train Boston College / Cleveland Circle Line and it will drop you off at Fenway 1o minutes later. I'll see if I can find a link.

    Lol. Here is the link to the Holiday in on Beacon Street in Brookline.

    This is very close and very simple plus there are tons of good eats in the area.

    You will have to drive into "the city" to get there from Rt.128/95 but it is easy to find.

    Did anyone mention yet that in return for all this great advice, at the game you attend, you are required to hold up a sign that says 'Talksox Rocks!'?
