bombings, photographer Chris Padgett decided to get inked—and he wasn’t

Chef Ron Abell makes sure Fenway crowds never go hungry
Contrary to popular belief, Fenway Park Senior Executive Chef Ron Abell
does a lot more than grill hot dogs—though we’re sure he can make a mean
Fenway Frank. Abell has been in charge of Fenway’s culinary operations

in Fenway Park, Abell has likely had something to do with it.

sacred—some even going so far as to spread family members’ ashes on its
grounds—and with a 100th anniversary under its belt and no end date in
sight, Fenway seems poised to play on for generations to come.
