Cy Young
Northeastern University / Fenway Robert Shure, Sculptor Bronze
Cy Young, legendary pitcher for the Boston Americans (later renamed the Red Sox) came home to Boston on September 29, 1993, thanks to the generosity and commitment of the Yawkey Foundation II.
Memorialized in a bronze statue that stands on the site of
the Red Sox first home field the Huntington Avenue Baseball
Grounds, now at the heart of the Northeastern University campus
Cy is poised in the pitcher’s stance, eyes riverted on the catcher,
waiting for the first pitch in the first World Series, on October 1,
1903. Although the Boston Americans lost the first game, they went
on to win the series, defeating the Pittsburgh Nationals (Pirates),
five games to three.
In addition to the statue of Cy Young, a commemorative home plate was placed at the historic site of the first
World Series. The statue, created by nationally known sculptor Robert Shure of Woburn, Massachusetts, and home plate are located between Churchill Hall and the Cabot Physical Education Center.
This tribute to baseball and the Red Sox represents a visible link between Northeastern University and the city of Boston, a connection characterized by both changing landscapes and lasting achievements.
The Skylight Studios in Woburn, MA., the only one of its kind in New England, has performed numerous creative and historical tasks for clients in all parts of the world. Robert Shure, of Skylight Studios, also has restored many famous Boston monuments.
To mention a few, the Old State House Lion and clock as well as The Massachu- setts State Seal. Robert Shure has had his creative and ar- tistic hand in “Hear Us” - State House Women’s Leadership Project, The Irish Famine Memorial, The Police and Fire Memorial as well as others.
