The New McGreevy's Third Base

[HiNeighbor]

Prior to going to Saturday's game against the Orioles, my wife and I took in a great dinner at the recreation of Nuf Ced McGreevy's 3rd Base Saloon. If you're a baseball historian visiting Boston, this place is definitely a great place to enjoy a meal.

While it looks like the majority of stuff on the walls are reproductions of the originals pieces (a lot which had to do with Peter Nash's collection) you really have to do a double take to tell they're not real.

In addition to the reproduction stuff, they also have some awesome original stuff in a glass case which includes an original ROG portrait of Nuf Ced which hung over his bar, a gorgeous 1903 scorecard, a Royal Rooter megaphone, a Nuf Ced pin, and a variety of early beer bottles and political pieces featuring the Fitzgeralds (JFK's maternal grandfather and original Royal Rooter).

Saw one guy eat a "Beckett Burger", an inhuman mass of cow that looks like ten burgers put together. What's cool about this burger is that the proceeds from it ($30) go to Josh Beckett's charity foundations.

All in all, a good night with one of my favorite Sox fans and a great win against the birds. Too bad they sucked pond water the day after


The Front Entrance


The Bar - Note the Moose in the Corner and the baseball bat light fixtures, just like in the original bar. You may notice a roster illustration of the NY Americans - appropriately hung upside down of course!


The Stairs Leading To the Johns Downstairs. What's so Special? That Rueter Ale Sign is the Sign (probably not the exact one) which hung outside the original 3rd Base. They got that from a Beer Friend of mine, Dan Morean


A case of more modern tidbits, some of which are associated with the Bar's founders, Ken Casey and the Dropkick Murphy's


A Case of Sweet Original Memorabilia. Note the Beer Bottles and original ROG portrait of Nuf Ced!


A 1903 Scorecard, Original Interior Photo, and Megaphone


Anybody recognize photo #29? It's kind of cool to see an exact copy of your baby, including all her stains, on the wall


Sorry for that huge spot of drool on the glass case. Anybody got a cutter?


We sat right in front of this little display. Somebody get me a doctor!

That's about it. For some reason, I have the feeling I was the only one in there who had the slightest clue as to what this place is all about. Well done Ken Casey and Peter Nash!
