As coordinating producer of all levels of ESPN’s baseball coverage, it makes sense that Scott Gustafson would know his way around Fenway Park, especially since he grew up in Marshfield.

But while talking with him about this weekend’s Red Sox-Yankees series, which culminates with the rivals’ 75th matchup on “Sunday Night Baseball,” I did not expect Gustafson to reveal a favorite couple of seats at the storied ballpark.

“Section 12, row double P, seats 1 and 2,” he said. “Oh, I remember them very well.”

Turns out that Gustafson is a lifelong Red Sox fan whose family shared season tickets with a couple of other families in the South Shore town.
