Z-Man Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 The song that was in MVP2004, that had to do the the Red Sox. In the song the line "Up from "Third Base" to Huntington", is that supposed to be the Huntington Avenue Grounds, where the BoSox played before Fenway Park??? http://www.plyrics.com/lyrics/dropkickmurphys/tessie.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidalwav90 Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 yeah its an old boston song redone by the Dropkick Murphys. There was a topic on it before. I'm pretty sure its from like the 1920's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Man Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 It probably was earlier-I once heard 1903 (the year the won the first world series ever) but i'm not sure of that. Fenway opened in like 1912? So if it were done in the 20's>, it'd probably be Fenway and not the Huntington Grounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boston used to have a group of fans called the "Royal Rooters" and they sang this Tessie song during the early years of the 20th century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYM Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 I saw them perform live at Fenway before the July 24, 2004 game. They were really good. There a real hit in Boston. They also have songs for other teams too. I know they have one for the Celtics and Bruins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Man Posted June 25, 2006 Author Share Posted June 25, 2006 Check this link out right here for more information about Tessie and the Royal Rooters. I understand now. I'm going to Boston for the Mets, Sox series on wednesday-PEDRO RETURNS!!!!! After that i'm gonna try to go see a Pawtuckett game, and then I'm going to my condo upstate for July 4th and probably catch a Binghampton Mets game while i'm there. Binhampton is like 1/12 to 2 hours north of my condo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
