There’s something about watching a vendor walking around the stands of Fenway balancing a tub filled with cups of chowder on their head that is just so New England it hurts
my boyfriend and i have two we bought at a stand outside Fenway Park on a summer trip there before we ever dated, over a decade ago. my dad has one two sizes two big that he got immediately after the 04 ALCS to celebrate. my cousin has two, including one that says "jeter swallows" on the back that a friend got her as a gag gift because she asked her dad for that exact one when she was six and didn't understand why he wouldn't buy it for her (she's so embarrassed by it now).
sully's hasn't sold those shirts in years. the print is cracked and the shirts are worn soft with age and all of them are the wrong size for us now because we bought them eons ago
