BOSTON Rookie Andrew Vaughn would never have guessed his eighth major league start would go down backed up to the Green Monster at Fenway Park, but there he was Saturday, a first baseman converted to left field just a few weeks ago playing one of the trickiest outfield spots in the game.
“I mean, it’s amazing,” Vaughn said before the game. “This field is historic.”
Vaughn took a tour of the field when he played in the Cape Cod League, so he had seen it up close. But not with an outfielder’s glove on his left hand.
