Connecticut man honors late son with Red Sox-themed basement

A walk down the basement steps of Scott Johnson’s home outside Hartford, Connecticut takes you past the Boston Red Sox’ championship banners on the left and the numbers of the team’s retired legends on the right.

Turn one way when you reach the bottom, and you can see a miniature version of the Red Sox’ famed “Green Monster,” complete with the “Fisk Pole” and the scoreboard attached to the left-field wall. Turn around, and you’ll see a Tom Brady jersey on the opposite wall near “Pesky’s Pole” meant to symbolize the end of Fenway’s right-field line.

“You have Big Papi (David Ortiz), Ted Williams, Yaz (Carl Yastrzemski), Pedro (Martinez), Manny (Ramirez) and Nomar (Garciaparra),” Scott Johnson can be heard guiding a guest on the now-viral social media tour of the room tweeted out by his sister, Megan.
