Silverman: Yawkey Way name change important for Boston

We’re only a few weeks away from the one-year anniversary of the Adam Jones name-calling incident at Fenway Park.

That fate can be avoided.

The hearing scheduled for Thursday morning was postponed until April 26 at the request of the Red Sox "so the Commission has ample time to review" all the relevant testimony and information.
