Pregame notes: Luck of the Irish

BOSTON -- Just arrived at Fenway Park and here are just a couple of early observations: The Red Sox will honor the NBA champion Celtics in a pregame ceremony tonight and already the field here at Fenway has a unique symbol cut into the center field grass -- a giant shamrock. It's actually pretty cool.

Also, there's a sign at one of the local establishments near the park that reads: "Welcome to the sports capital of America."
