One April 16, 2004, the Red Sox unveilved the Ted
Williams Jimmy Fund statue outside the Gate B entrance to
Fenway Park at the corner of Ipswich and Van Ness Streets.
Crafted by sculptor Franc Talarico, the 1200-pound,
eight-and-a-half foot tall statue depcits Williams placing
his upon the head of a young bo with cancer. it is a
testament to the half-century of public appeals the late
Hall of Famer made on behalf of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
and its Jimmy Fund — the official charity of the Red Sox.
