JetBlue Park at Fenway South is the spring training home of the Boston Red Sox.
The park, which opened in 2012, features the exact dimensions of the Fenway Park playing field. It also includes unique features from the Beantown address such as the Green Monster, Pesky's Pole and the Lone Red Seat that marks the longest home run ever hit at Fenway (502 feet by Ted Williams in 1946).

The aforementioned Williams, the most revered Red Sox player of all time, is immortalized in a statue at left of the Anna / Dr Pepper can. The statue shows Williams, bat in hand, placing a cap on the head of a cancer- stricken child. This statue also is located outside the park in Boston where Williams generously gave to those in need.
