Fenway Park
“We are naming these after our friend Dave Mellor, the grounds-keeper at Fenway Park. Here is some info on Dave who we met in 2007 during our first year of working on the seats at Fenway Park. https://www.davidrmellor.com/about
He has written several books on a variety of topics including his most recent on PTSD : https://www.amazon.com/One-Base-Time-Survived-Dreams/dp/1642932523
Additional info on these seats:
“All these seats have been stored indoors since removal in 2010 and are in the exact condition they were when removed after the last game in the 2010 season. This includes seats with dry-rotted boards, mismatching replacement boards, worn seat numbers and severe wear on the wood and paint.
What we do is look at each seat and evaluate whether we feel it is acceptable to be sold as-is or requires some board replacements or painting.
We have hundreds of spare boards to use as replacements, generated from the connecting seats removed from this batch of seats. We also have spare cast iron legs in case a leg has a crack in it.
Most seats need to be repainted to look presentable in a home or office. We try to leave the original number without painting over it, if possible. Sometimes the number has been rubbed off over the years, we have the exact stencils used at Fenway Park for the numbers and we repaint over the old number.
These repainted seats are then lovingly placed in plastic bags and stored for sale, and we call them our “Dave Mellor Specials”! “
