The Red Sox would like the city of Boston to get rid of Yawkey Way.

In a statement released by the team on Wednesday, the Red Sox said they would like to see the city change Yawkey Way to Jersey Street, which was its original name prior to 1977.

"Restoring the Jersey Street name is intended to reinforce that Fenway Park is inclusive and welcoming to all," the statement said, via Martin Finucane of the Boston Globe.
