The Red Sox have filed a petition with the Boston Public Improvement Commission to change the name of Yawkey Way back to its original name of Jersey Street.
The portion of the street that borders Fenway Park was changed in 1977, the year after the death of former team owner Tom Yawkey.
The Yawkey Foundation stated its intention to protest the team's request for the name change, which is "based on a false narrative about Tom Yawkey and his record as team owner".
