Love this exchange (and Danny Ainge)!!! The best part is that as the story has evolved over the years it has changed. Tree Rollins was the biter...
In 1983, as a member of the Atlanta Hawks, playing in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, he got into a fight with Danny Ainge of the Boston Celtics. In retaliation for allegedly being called a sissy, Rollins elbowed Ainge in the face. Ainge subsequently tackled Rollins to the ground and the two began to wrestle. Rollins then bit Ainge's middle finger so badly that it required a couple of stitches. After the fight, Ainge was ejected and Rollins wasn't. However, the Celtics went on to win the series, 2-1.[2][3][4] The incident inspired opposing fans to occasionally hold up signs referring to the incident with sayings like "If you can't beat 'em, eat 'em" during some of his subsequent games.

I could be way off here, but I think Ian Williams print looks like a hockey goalie maybe with Bruin colors. Looks like he is kneeling down on one knee making a save. Doesn't make sense for Fenway I know, but that's what I see. Wonder if it will have 4 eyes?
If it's a Bruins theme poster this would be AWESOME!!!!!
No this would suck. I'm a poster completest so I'll get it but then I'm going to hide it under the TO1 2016 poster. It would be an embarrassment to have a bruins poster.
I'm a poster archivist / completest too. My poster collection would KICK ASS to include a Pearl Jam themed Bruins poster.

One of these days for a Boston show they need to do a Bobby Orr inspired poster
Love it. Last summer my family went to Parry Sound (birthplace of Bobby Orr). Picked up some stuff at the Bobby Orr Hall of Fame.

The hockey design looks like it might be based off an old Topps hockey card design...maybe 1965-66?

The awesome Ted Williams as a rookie, does not look even the least bit concerned, like he knew then he was just better, Teddy Ballgame had 145 RBI's his rookie season as 20 year old, when looking at his stats consider he gave up 3 years in the prime of his career for military service, his stats would have been even more unbelievable, also he was a left handed hitter who hit to the power allies and right center in Fenway is huge, if he had played a Yankee Stadium instead, he probably would have had over 700 Home Runs & that's not considering the stats from the 3 lost seasons, the case could be made for him being the greatest hitter ever. Oh yeah only hitter to win the Triple Crown twice. His .482 career on base percentage is the highest in MLB history, a mark that it would seem is destined to last forever, .482 career OBP that's just crazy mind boggling

You never really had to begin with.
Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.
