Huh?!? You do realize that the pols in Boston screwed over the Krafts and Patriots long before they screwed over Henry, Lucchino, and the Red Sox? Kraft tried to build his own version of Camden Yards in South Boston before Henry even bought the Red Sox and the residents and politicians blocked him. He ended up having to build a stadium with his own money in Foxboro instead.
Henry knew he was unlikely to get his own version of Camden Yards even before he bought the Red Sox. He knew there was no way he would be able to build a park in South Boston. I really can't feel bad for him on this. He also probably could have found another site, but decided that Fenway is a better location than the alternatives.
My comments are aimed at the paranoid Patriot fans who think the sun rises and sets on Bob Kraft and how Kraft is the only one ever toyed with or screwed by the pols around here. It's simply not true and the Sox are just one such example.
