There's no lack of detail in Fallout 4.
Bethesda Game Studios, developers behind the new hit game, saw to that, adding a sequence with a red seat at Fenway Park, commemorating the farthest home run ever hit in the famous stadium — a 502-foot shot by Ted Williams back in 1946.
One gamer, Imgur user SporkFortuna, spotted it, saying:
It's an incredible detail to include — not to mention, to spot by a gamer — among a sea of dark green seats found at Fenway. What makes the detail being included in the game even better is the red seat is true to life.
After Ted Williams blasted the 502-foot homer on June 9, 1946, marking a Red Sox record distance for a long ball, the franchise decided to celebrate the shot by painting the seat the ball landed in red. In the years since, the seat has become a fan favorite to sit in and take pictures of ... or blast with a shotgun, in the case of Fallout 4.
Like the actual seat at Fenway, the red seat is hard to spot in the hit video game, but if you survey the stands at just the right moment, it's bound to hit you, as it did with this one savvy gamer.
News of the red seat came the same day, as a fan's mod for Fallout 4 allows gamers to be Red Sox slugger David Ortiz, all to the tune of the original "Take Me Out to the Ball Game."
Red Sox nation and gamers alike probably couldn't be any prouder.
