Boston K Men & The BASE
The Boston K Men phenomenon began 25 years ago, when Pedro Martinez joined the Red Sox. At every home game that Pedro pitched between 1998 and 2004, the crew — mostly teenagers — plastered K signs symbolizing his strikeouts on the back wall of the Fenway Park bleachers.
Pedro always gave back to the Boston community, and the K Men carry on that tradition by investing in urban youth and the people and programs that support them.
The group has been a staunch supporter of The BASE and we are excited to continue working together in the 2023 season and beyond.
This year, the K Men have created souvenir Fenway Park t-shirts and hats to celebrate America’s most famous and beloved ballpark. Thanks to a generous donation from the Lyons Group and its sports bar located inside Fenway Park, Bleacher Bar, 100% of the proceeds from K Men t-shirt and hat purchases will go to The BASE.
Visit the K Men website to learn more about their history and their work with The BASE.

We partner with The BASE because we love what they stand for – it’s about the power of sports to bring people together, and the talent and potential of our city’s kids. We’re happy to play a role by raising funds and awareness for a truly special organization and the diverse and talented young people it serves.
