1. Sherm Feller
Sherm Feller addressed the crowd at Fenway Park for 26 years with his gravelly voice. In his career, he also worked as a disc jockey and song writer. It wasn’t a game at Fenway until you heard his signature, “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome to Fenway Park.”

3. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaade!
The cheer done by an MIT professor who sat in the centerfield bleachers every time Wade Boggs came to the plate. He could hold the “A” for about 20 to 30 seconds, often eliciting applause from the crowd in the bleachers.

The nickname for Red Sox first baseman George Scott. Scott made future Sox first sacker Mo Vaughn look anorexic.

5. Yastrzemskibooooooooo
The sound made by PA announcer Sherm Feller announcing Carl Yastrzemski and the fans reaction to the announcement. This was last heard in early 1975. By the end of that season, Yastrzemski was once again a hero to Red Sox fans and remained so the the rest of his career.
