Along with his great love of the outdoors, our founder L.L. Bean was also known for his passion for baseball and the Boston Red Sox. Perhaps it's only fitting then that through this partnership, the L.L.Bean tarp will protect the Fenway Park infield during rain delays and L.L.'s name will continue to play a part in Red Sox tradition. After all, the two organizations have a lot in common. They both boast a rich history of great tales and traditions. They've demonstrated an unyielding commitment to the quality and excellence of their product. And perhaps most important, they share an unwavering dedication to keeping their customers happy.
Thanks to the partnership between these two iconic organizations, our fans can enjoy exciting events, special programs and the chance to win great Red Sox prizes.
