From the Boston Globe:
A red-tailed hawk lost its choice seat behind home plate at Fenway Park today after the raptor scratched a middle school girl on a tour, drawing blood from her eyebrow.
The girl was in the upper deck behind home plate, some 40 feet from the hawk’s nest, where a single egg lay in an overhang near the press booth. The hawk had been perched on a railing and swooped at the girl with its talons extended. She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital.
"The girl is fine," said Red Sox spokeswoman Susan Goodenow.
It was the second incident with a hawk in the park in the last two days. It has been common for the birds to take up residence in the stadium rafters in the off-season, dining on rats and mice when the park is quiet.
"When the season starts and there is lots of noise, they usually find a new home," Goodenow said.
There is a big-mouthed chicken-hawk known to frequent Fenway that would seem to be a much more natural target...

Dear Totally Gay for the Yankess,
You must remember that time on Wednesday, October 20, 2004 at Yankee Stadium when the Boston Red Sox became the first team in Major League Baseball history to win a seven-game series after being down three games to none.
Wow the Yankees losing four games in a row!!! That must have been embrassing. I'll bet they never let that happen again.
What's that? The Indians. Last year? Ouch.
Sincerely, I say sincerely yours,
