          I’m surprised Dunkin Donuts is that far from Fenway. There’s 2-3 Dunkin Donuts every block in Boston.

            Good point.

            There used to be a Dunkin in the alley, just to the left. But it's closed now, I'm sure they'll be a replacement in the future.

            To the right is an entrance to Fenway that will bring you to 3rd base.

              Busch Beer was created to spite Major League Baseball. STL Cardinals owner August Busch Jr was told by MLB he couldn't name their ballpark Budweiser Stadium. He got approval to name it after his family, and then ordered his brewers to create the new beer.

                            @jon-nyc Is the video sped up? The writing says "30 seconds" but the video is only 15 seconds.

                            Even so, still impressive!!!!!
