why is it called Yawkey?

on first glance i thought you wrote Yankee, and I was quite confused...

The Yawkey's were the owners for most of the Red Sox organizations' history. He built Fenway to what it looks like today; put up the monster, etc.

wow...i love baseball. im not a red sox fan, but this still bring a little tear to my eye. from my view, you can't beat a baseball stadium and all its history!
