Cardboard Fenway: 1984 Topps Gary Allenson

Cardboard Fenway - #92. 1984 Topps Gary Allenson

For every Dwight Evans, Jim Rice, Wade Boggs, and Pedro Martinez, the Red Sox rosters were chock-a-block with guys like Gary Allenson, Al Nipper, Al Zarilla, Milt Bolling, and Joe Lahoud.

Cardboard Fenway - #87. 1984 Fleer Rich Gedman

Look at that bored Fenway crowd! The Sox must've been losing, which is not hard to imagine for the 1983 Red Sox.

Cardboard Fenway: 1984 Fleer Rick Miller

Rick's in a hurry around those base paths. Also, check out how few people are in the bleachers in right field.

Remember when Fenway Park didn't sell out for every home game? Me too.

Cardboard Fenway: 1984 Donruss Mark Clear

Cardboard Fenway - #33. 1984 Donruss Mark Clear

Here's a great shot of Mark mid-delivery, with the infielder (probably Marty Barrett) looking on and the right-field fence in the distance.

Cardboard Fenway: 1984 Topps/Nestle Wade Boggs

Cardboard Fenway - #35. 1984 Topps/Nestle Wade Boggs

Yes, I know the rules about having your number retired by the Red Sox. But there are just some guys you think they'd bend the rules for. Guys like Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz, and perhaps a Hall of Famer like Wade Boggs.

Cardboard Fenway: 1984 Donruss Jerry Remy

Cardboard Fenway - #30. 1984 Donruss Jerry Remy

Not sure about this one, if that's Fenway behind the batting-cage screen. But Remy looks like he's in his home whites. Then again, this could be a Spring Training shot. Oh well.

Cardboard Fenway: 1984 Fleer John Tudor

Cardboard Fenway - #27. 1984 Fleer John Tudor

I never understood why the Red Sox unloaded John Tudor. Here he is with the centerfield bleachers behind him.
