Photo of the Day: Fenway Park ... without a baseball diamond

There was something off about Fenway Park this week. Sure, the Green Monster was still towering over left field, the Pesky Pole stood tall in the right-field corner and the bleachers and stands were all intact. But the baseball diamond had, um, disappeared:

Don't worry, guys. Nobody stole the baseball field. The Red Sox are just getting the grounds ready for the Shamrock Series matchup between Notre Dame and Boston College on Nov. 21. Although it may be an unsettling sight, the bases will be back in time for this man to trot around on them:
