The Teammates: A Portrait of a Friendship is a bronze sculpture in Boston, Massachusetts which stands outside Fenway Park's Gate 5, at the corner of Ipswich street and Van Ness Street. The sculpture depicts Boston Red Sox teammates (from left to right): Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio, Johnny Pesky, and Ted Williams. The statue was erected in honor of not only their time together as teammates - they were teammates for seven seasons - and also the friendship formed between them long after they all retired.
The statue itself features the four players in Red Sox uniforms and carrying bats over their shoulders. Each statue is about 7 feet tall and weigh approximately 600 pounds. The pedestal, which weighs around 15 tonnes, is made of Deer Isle Gray granite and is inscribed with the word "Teammates".
