Situated in the bullpen at Fenway Park, complete with green walls, the actors are fully clad in Red Sox uniforms. An especially nice touch is the plastering of bubble gum all over the bullpen. Each could pass for a ball player, and the lone-lefty, Ripper, conjures up images of Boston's beloved spaceman Bill...
