BOSTON (AP) - The Boston Red Sox’s season isn’t quite up in flames, but a small fire at a landmark near Fenway Park can’t be a good omen.
The fire Wednesday blackened some panels on the red, white and blue Citgo sign over Fenway’s Green Monster in left field.
The fire department said the flames were quickly put out and the blaze was likely caused by an electrical short circuit. Damage was estimated at $5,000.
The Green Monster has seen several balls soar over it in recent days. Boston trails Tampa 3-1 in the American League championship series.
