Just off Brookline Avenue in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston an artistically painted camper was found. This camper was painted in the same flat green color as the inside of Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. The vehicle is thought to be a Dodge Explorer. There was a plate, painted over, which, I believe, says 'Explorer.'
Some details seen:
- Sweet Caroline is painted on the bumper. This refers to the Neil Diamond song, Sweet Caroline, that has (inexplicably) become a hit with the fans at the park, who now sing it every game.
- On top of the bumper is the phrase, "My space rolling Green Monster"
- Just below the dash board is some lettering that I am guessing is Japanese. It likely is about "Dice-K", one of the starring pitchers; however, the Sox have had a few Japanese players through the roster.
- A blue number 42 is painted above the passenger side head lights. 42 is the number for Jackie Robinson who was the first colored person to play in the major league, and that number is now retired and displayed in Fenway Park with other retired numbers.
- The score board on the driver's side is for each inning and the final score of 17-1 Boston over New York.
- There is a logo that references "Red Sox Nation"
- Under the driver side window is the phrase, "Mayor of Landsdowne Street." Landsdowne Street is the street where home runs over the green monster in left field will land.
- In the back is the official blog for the vehicle, (

- Under the back window are the banners with the years when the Red Sox won the world series.
From the blog, the owner is David Millette, and the RV typically is parked on Landsdowne Street or any where near Fenway Park during a home game (at the time, Landsdowne Street was where the Phantom Gourmet was having a special event, and the Red Sox were in New York City). It also may be on a cross country tour, so, if you do find it, log a visit and tell where you found it!
