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
since 2006, supervising everything from the exclusive EMC Club to the
lowliest concession stand. He cooks for the owners, the players and
their wives, the media, the player’s club and staffers. If you’re eating
in Fenway Park, Abell has likely had something to do with it.
Red Sox catcher David Ross on beards, Twitter and bouncing back
After suffering a severe concussion last season, Red Sox backup catcher
David Ross was forced to take off two months, missing a total of 65
games. There were times when he wondered if he’d ever play again, but he
returned to his spot behind the plate in August and ended up playing in
four of the six World Series games— including the series clincher on
October 30, 2013.
Fenway Park is one of the oldest and smallest baseball stadiums in
America—and also one of its most beloved. Situated in the middle of a
dense city block, the park has endured a lot over the years, including
multiple fires, threats of demolition, and a near-century-long losing
streak from its home team. Nevertheless, Red Sox fans consider 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.
