The Patriots are actually New England's third pro football team. The Boston Braves were founded in 1932 and played in Fenway Park from 1932 to 1937. In 1933 they changed their name to the Boston Redskins and in 1937 they moved to Washington DC, where they remain to this day. The Boston Yanks were founded in 1944 and played in Fenway Park until 1948, when they moved on to unsuccessful stops in New York and Dallas before settling in Baltimore as the Colts. They now play as the Indianapolis Colts. The Boston Yanks are also the only defunct NFL team ever to have the first overall NFL draft pick. They had it twice in 1944 and 46. Both times they selected a quarterback from the University of Notre Dame: Angelo Bertelli (44) and Frank Dancewicz (46).

Yes, there have been instances where home runs hit at Fenway Park have landed in vehicles parked nearby, including pickup trucks. One notable case occurred in 1975 when a home run hit by a player landed in a pickup truck parked on Lansdowne Street, just beyond the outfield wall.
