The Teammates: A Portrait of a Friendship is a bronze sculpture in Boston, Massachusetts which stands outside Fenway Park's Gate 5, at the corner of Ipswich street and Van Ness Street. The sculpture depicts Boston Red Sox teammates (from left to right): Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio, Johnny Pesky, and Ted Williams. The statue was erected in honor of not only their time together as teammates - they were teammates for seven seasons - and also the friendship formed between them long after they all retired.[1]
