Chris Williams paints a logo on the field at Fenway Park for baseball’s World Series on Tuesday, Oct. 22, 2013, in Boston. The St. Louis Cardinals face the Boston Red Sox in Game 1 on Wednesday.BOSTON – Lance Lynn squeezed through a door leading into the Green Monster, shimmied along a cramped space behind the famed left-field wall and peered out a tiny metal slot in the Fenway Park scoreboard.

The Red Sox saw a neat sight, too. As they took batting practice at dusk, a giant, vibrant rainbow formed high in the sky beyond center field. Slugger David Ortiz noticed.
“Oh, yeah,” he said. “It’s a Dominican thing.”
